Plone at Other Universities



UCLA60,000 students, faculty, and staff

“We work closely with UCLA Marketing & Communications and the campus communities to insure compliance with UCLA branding, usability and accessibility standards.”

“we selected Plone because there was an active Plone User Group on campus, other administrative websites using Plone (notably www.chancellor.ucla.edu and www.evc.ucla.edu), and Plone’s security (very few security patches).”

“Since 2010, there’s only been 2 security patches released, our designers have been able to rapidly update Plone themes as the UCLA Branding, usability and accessibility guidelines are updated.”

160 sites

“No PHP” - security

“We are very happy with Plone and we are not planning to move off it anytime soon. We have a big investment in it, and there is nothing out there that is head and shoulders better that would justify a migration.”



Louisville~450 sites

1) Plone is open source that is backed by a very active and helpful community – this allows us to customize the parts that we need to customize freely and also keeps the ongoing costs down to a minimum.

2) Plone writes html code that is Section 508 compatible – this keeps us compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act with very little effort and satisfies our marketing departments charge to deliver a website usable by people with disabilities.

3) Plone allows us to keep brand standards across a decentralized website – Our marketing folks work closely with us providing brand standards and site design documents that the technical team can implement and deliver to the University as a whole. We can offer many different looks that all feel like UofL.

4) Plone has an excellent security record – we have yet to have any unauthorized changes or successful hacking attempts of the website”

“We have especially benefited from the recent maturations of the Plone project with the latest versions being easier to deploy, maintain, and program for than ever before. Overall the satisfaction level here is good, especially from the technical team, and we’re proud to continue to be one of the largest Plone deployments in Higher Education.”
