Oxford University Press upgrade to Morello

Mediasurface, the leading AIM-listed content management provider today announced that leading publisher and long standing customer, Oxford University Press (OUP), has chosen to upgrade to Mediasurface 5.3.5 and to implement Morello.

A customer since 1998, OUP will upgrade the systems it is running on v4 to the recently released v5.3.5, in order to maintain a secure platform, and to benefit from the features of Morello. The Morello smart client will replace the existing editorial interface for the content editors who maintain the existing sites.

OUP currently uses Mediasurface as the content management system supporting its web development, running many public facing websites on the system, as well as a Group intranet site. Ken Caldwell, Group Programme Planning Director at OUP said:
“We are looking forward to an improved interface for our editorial users, and being able to provide a more robust service level for our existing sites and for our future requirements”.

Nick Smee, Sales Director at Mediasurface said: “A longstanding customer, OUP has always been quick to exploit new technology and add value to its publishing for the reader. It is rewarding to have been able to work with such prestigious company for the past eight years and see its use of the internet evolve.”
