WCMS 3 is here, now what?
The current standard "FDSU" version of the Waterloo Content Management System (WCMS) 3 has, for the most part, reached parity with WCMS 2, which means the features and functionality available with standard WCMS 2 FDSU sites are available and ready to use with WCMS 3 FDSU websites. As a result, many WCMS 2 websites are now eligible to move to WCMS 3. Review the available migration options to see how you can get started, or how we can help move your site to WCMS 3.
