WordPress is one of Texas Southern University’s Content Management & Digital Publishing Systems.

WordPress can be used to create blogs – online journals you can use to build an audience around a specific topic.
Committees, departments, work groups, clubs, teams and individual faculty members can have their own WordPress sites. WordPress sites are usually viewable by anyone, In some cases, they can be limited to Internal Users Only (Connected to TSU’s Network).
SharePoint
We offer SharePoint Services, Microsoft Lync, Microsoft Office, SharePoint team sites, and OneDrive for Business. Our objective is to advocate for and enable departmental and campus-wide intranet collaboration for improved productivity and communication for TSU Students, Faculty, and Staff.
eForms & Kiosks
e-Forms (Electronic Forms) are the computer program version of paper forms. Aside from eliminating the cost of printing, storing, and distributing pre-printed forms, e-forms can be filled out faster because the programming associated with them can automatically format, calculate, look up, and validate information for the user. With digital signatures and routing via e-mail, approval cycle times can be significantly reduced. With electronic submission of completed forms, you can eliminate the cost of re-keying data and the associated errors.

These Kiosks could be built on a number of different platforms, depending on the complexity of user/client requirements. Completely brandable, Designed with the end user in mind.
