BROOKLYN PARK, MINNESOTA January 8, 2009:

Minnesota’s North Hennepin Community College (NHCC) has chosen eDynamic to deliver an end-to-end Intranet and Enterprise Content Management System including their website, intranet, enterprise search and a host of applications. The website will be moved to a Sitecore Web Content Management system & the intranet will be built using Microsoft SharePoint technology.

“eDynamic’s premium partnership with Sitecore, a best-of-breed WCM solution, coupled with their proven history of successful SharePoint implementation projects, paved the way for NHCC’s choice of a strategic Web solutions partner” says NHCC Marketing Director, Carmen Shoquist. “We are looking forward to working with their team of experts on this project”

The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system is the seventh-largest system of higher education in the United States. As a member of the Minnesota Colleges and Universities system, NHCC currently serves more than 15,000 students with credit and non-credit offerings, and is one of the largest public two-year colleges in the state.

“We are pleased to partner with one of the leading higher education providers in the US for their critical initiatives,” says Rahul Khosla, Principal Consultant, eDynamic. “We believe our expertise in end-to-end Web solutions across User Experience, Content Management & Application Development will enable us to deliver strongly on NHCC’s Web objectives.”

“The objective of the intranet will be to provide a single point of entry for all information published by NHCC employees” says Shoquist, “The intranet is also envisioned to be a hub for educational content, event scheduling, internal collaboration, College policies and procedures, inter-department request, course content dissemination, employee communications and recognition, document management, etc. The portal will ensure that NHCC faculty and staff are able to find accurate information quickly and efficiently to ultimately better serve our students.”

eDynamic’s approach will be based on its industry-leading user experience expertise. By moving from an outdated and hard-to-navigate content management platform to a formidable, new Sitecore WCM with solid architecture that allows rapid development of new websites and Web-based applications, eDynamic will be developing robust solutions that will meet all of NHCC’s core requirements.

eDynamic will also develop new Web applications for class listings, news and announcements, cancelled classes, programs and degrees, crime log, employment opportunities, calendaring, scheduling systems for orientations and testing, and others, as identified in analysis.
