What are the first steps that JMU has taken to implement a campus portal?
In September 2004, JMU launched an effort to bring next-generation publishing and presentation tools to its Web site. A vision document was created to guide the process and, in November, the university issued a request for proposals. The CampusEAI/Oracle decision was reached after an intensive evaluation process that included on-site vendor presentations to JMU faculty, staff, and students. Several committees and work teams have been established to guide the full implementation of the new infrastructure, which will likely require three to five years.
