An Enhanced Web Content Management System
The Department of Information Technology (DOIT) is seeking bids on a Web Content Management System (WCMS) to manage all Executive Branch Agencies' websites within the State of Connecticut. The WCMS plays an important role in the overall State of Connecticut E-Government Strategy as the public-facing "look-and-feel" for many of the planned initiatives roadmapped by the E-Government program. (See below for more details on this strategy.) The Web Content Management System (WCMS) is expected to be an off-the-shelf product which requires minimal customizations to install and integrate with State of Connecticut and DOIT standards. Customizations should not include any alterations of the product code, any modifications that are not supported by the vendor or the service agreement, or any changes that will require re-implementation after upgrades, patches, or service pack releases. Customizations can include modifications to templates and template design, integration with other DOIT applications and/or appliances, and specific changes requested by DOIT.
