“Today’s University content platform is more than just a web site,” said Jeroen Verberg, CEO of Hippo. “With the explosion of mobile and social usage, students need complete and easy access to University content such as tuition information, scholarships and other University services. And Hippo CMS is a perfect fit. Our solutions provide these institutions with an open platform that is immediately interoperable with online learning, registration and other applications they may already have running. And, providing new interfaces like mobile and social becomes much easier.”
