Web Platform

An enterprise website content management system for the Health Sciences at UCLA.

We encourage you to review the Glossary of Terms and Roles and Permissions Matrix to see what kind of work you'll likely be assigned to do in your site. This will help you understand the scope of the training you'll need.
