The value of Course Management Systems (CMS) is very clear and we are seeking ways to assure high quality products and service. Over the last several years UF units have adopted a number of different systems, requiring different contractual agreements, hardware platforms, and support infrastructure.

Among the many changes that came with the state’s end of the old Board of Regents and the implementation of a new higher education governance structure was an end to the formal statewide system of Regional Data Centers.
