Testimonials
Deborah Feldman
Director of Communications
Northeastern University
"Cascade is an excellent CMS but what makes Hannon Hill really stand out is the company's customer service approach. I have yet to encounter a firm as well managed and easy to deal with as Hannon Hill. The staff are, quite simply, first rate."
Matt Herzberger
Director of Web Communications
Florida International University
"Cascade Server has been a great tool for our team. I always tell people get the right CMS for your organization. Cascade provides such an open platform that it will grow and scale with us into the future..."
Judy Steward
Team Leader, Customer Support Centre
University of Western Ontario
"We chose Cascade Server as our centrally supported web content management system because of its core technology and because of the Hannon Hill staff. We are more comfortable supporting and recommending the use of a compiled source code application like Cascade that enforces server security models and has an extensive security framework versus any open source php CMS. Our experience with the Hannon Hill staff from our very first contact has been very good and we are looking forward to continuing our partnership with them in the years to come."
Karmon Runquist
Director, Web Services
Wentworth Institute of Technology
"When selecting a content management system, the number one priority was ease of use. Cascade has exceeded my expectations. Each time a user updates a page and comments, "that was so easy," I know I made the right decision."
Susan Evans
Former Director of Creative Services
College of William & Mary
"We deployed Cascade Server three years ago during a relaunch of the William & Mary website. Now, we have 800 individuals on campus using the CMS to easily and consistently keep our website fresh and interesting. Thanks to Cascade Server, our web editors have anytime, anywhere access to their sites and can focus on content. Relying on the William & Mary web presence to achieve our communication goals, there are no more issues with permissions, mapped web space, and sftp when off campus. I recommend Cascade Server with confidence; It just works."
Erik Gorka
Reed College
"Cascade has helped us consolidate many of our disparate websites under one umbrella, providing consistency and ease of management, as well as allowing us to integrate different technologies in ways we could not before. Hannon Hill's tech support has also been wonderful, providing solutions and solving problems quickly. We've been very pleased with Cascade."
Jeff Dillon
Director of Web Services
California State University, Sacramento
"Many systems can provide the requisite functionality, what needs to be heavily weighted in selecting a CMS is the cooperative nature of the vendor in regards to future releases and general support. Hannon Hill listens to its customers."
David Shipley
Senior Enterprise Web Strategist, Communications & Marketing
University of New Brunswick
"With hundreds of content developers building or updating thousands of web pages spread across nearly 200 individual sites and sections, the University of New Brunswick depends on a robust Content Management System for its web presence. That system, Cascade Server, has served us tremendously well over the years. Hannon Hills efforts to always add valuable new features to Cascade Server ensures it continues to meet our constantly evolving needs."
Alvin Chao
James Madison University
"Cascade server is one of the very few Enterprise Push published CMS's out there. It provides great comfort knowing that your website up time is not affected by a database server being down. This means that if your CMS app is down for maintenance or upgrade your website can still go on running without worries. Hannon Hill as an organization is top notch. They exemplify superior customer service and care."
Ann Rafferty
Los Alamos National Labs
"Hannon Hill's Cascade Server has become the backbone of our Laboratory's content management initiative to maintain and publish content using a robust, web-based tool that is easy for users, affordable to maintain, and flexible and accessible for developers. Having a CMS has allowed us to establish consistency of brand and identity by applying a variety of global templates to all pages; it has streamlined our publishing process from days to hours; and our readership and employee engagement has increased substantially on our intranet. In the next 6 months we will use Cascade Server to publish our newly redesigned external public site using the same kinds of templates and extensibility that has made our intranet successful."
Antonio De Castro
Webmaster
Hawai'i Pacific University
"When Hawai’i Pacific University decided to redesign our website it was decided we would upgrade our Content Management System as well. We knew what we wanted: a comprehensive system, flexible scope, ease of use for non-technical content managers, and reliable, responsive support. We did our due diligence in research and we found Hannon Hill and their Cascade CMS answered our needs. They not only had the breadth of experience working with higher education but their technical staff understood our need to transfer thousands of pages, files and documents to another system and how we could customize our CMS to build the simplest yet most efficient system for our university’s website redesign and updates. I’ve heard more comments from our content managers on how Hannon Hill’s Cascade CMS was far superior and easier to use than another previous CMS. We’ve also developed a great rapport with Hannon Hill for future developments as the scope of an interactive online entity changes more and more with our students, community, the islands of Hawaii and the international community. Mahalo to Hannon Hill for their expertise, understanding and support."
Ed Pokraka
Director, Information Technology Services
University of Saskatchewan
“Right from the beginning Hannon Hill has been responsive and helpful—from the RFP and product evaluation through to implementation and operation—and they continue to be responsive and helpful today. Cascade Server has met the business needs of the University of Saskatchewan, especially in our environment of distributed responsibility for web content management. Specifically it has enabled us to offer a central service, while allowing distributed management and operation.”
Marilyn Smith
Web Development Coordinator
University of California, Hastings School of Law
"UC Hastings College of the Law adopted Cascade Server in 2008. We have 150+ users who create and maintain web content inside Cascade, which is designed to manage websites through distributed workflows. The adoption of powerful, yet simple-to-use, tools in Cascade Server has been a real boon to our web production. Our next project is an overhaul of the website’s design while reusing and retargeting content in Cascade Server."
Karen Davis
Manager, Web Publishing
Johnson County Community College
"JCCC was looking for a user friendly Content Management System that would allow for a new design and help us adapt to future technologies. We also wanted our site to be W3C compliant and Cascade Server delivered. We are completing the development of the site and looking forward to using Cascade’s mobile functionality. Hannon Hill’s webinars and case studies are especially useful to our IT and communications staff. Sharing expertise is one of the many things Hannon Hill does especially well."
Andrew Bauserman
College of William & Mary
"Hannon Hill Cascade Server is, in our opinion, the best proprietary mid-tier web content management system utilizing a “baked” page publishing model. Hannon Hill is very open with their documentation, knowledge base, updates, community discussions and suggested ideas, as well as the Cascade Server Road-map."
Indiana Univerisity
School of Public and Environmental Affairs
"Cascade Server is a solution created with our institution in mind, with our resources in mind, and with a support group. We jumped on the bandwagon pretty quickly, because we saw a good solution for the problem that we had."
Cecilia Thomas
MCG Health, Inc.
"RSS feeds are a great way for us to stay in touch with our community. We are actively working to enhance our web presence and RSS feeds provide another mechanism for providing information to our community. Cascade Server makes it easy to manage content that is automatically published in multiple formats, like standard web pages and RSS feeds."
Casey Paquet

"I tell everyone great things about the system and about the amazing customer service you guys have provided."

"It's making it very easy for non-technical people to dive in and keep their web content up to date."

Cascade has proven to be a great fit for us already, and I'm pleased we're finally in a position to approach key areas regarding participation in managing content on the site.
