SectorPoint Launches New SharePoint 2010 Website for Santa Monica College
August 17, 2011
(Santa Monica, CA) Just in time for the fall 2011 academic semester, SectorPoint launched a new Website for Santa Monica College (SMC)—one of California’s largest colleges serving over 30,000 students with more than 80 fields of study.
SectorPoint was selected by Santa Monica College in the summer of 2010 for a complete Website redesign and Microsoft SharePoint 2010 implementation. This was the second major release of SMC’s website by SectorPoint, which launched a previous website for SMC in November 2007. “It was an honor to once again turn SMC’s vision of a cutting-edge website into a reality,” stated SectorPoint’s President & CEO Jon Cornelison.
SectorPoint guided Santa Monica College’s site from concept to inception over the past year, incorporating vast input from stakeholders of SMC’s college community. The site is powered by Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 as the web content management system, which provides easy-to-use web publishing features for SMC faculty and staff, while maintaining the integrity and design of the overall website.
“I am very pleased with our Website partner, SectorPoint. They are truly are a one- stop shop, providing website design, development, training, and support,” said Teresita Rodriguez, Vice President of Enrollment Development, of Santa Monica College and executive sponsor of the project. “This is exactly what we needed in order to make this large project a success. Most importantly, SectorPoint understands the culture of colleges and provided great flexibility for us--which made them the perfect fit for SMC," she continued.
Santa Monica College was recently named the “Best Community College” in the Los Angeles Times’ “Reader’s Choice Best of Southern California 2011” poll.
