Live Webinar: How to Fund and Select Your Next CMS (Sponsored by Lucidea)
Recorded On: 09/09/2021
- Registration Closed
Webinar Description
The last 18 months have proven to museums just how critical it is to offer museum collections content online while museum doors remain closed. Many museum staff have learned just how limited their options are with an ill-fitting CMS, or worse, no CMS. It's easy to feel stuck, but with the right framework in place you can move smoothly through the complexity of choosing a new system—and better yet, have the tools you need to acquire funding for it.
In this webinar, museum expert and consultant Rachael Cristine Woody will offer strategies and solutions for common challenges, including how to identify your unique CMS needs, how to create CMS specifications that lead you to the right fit, and importantly, how to fund it.
