CMS Fiona

All information about the CMS Fiona and the transition to the new WCMS FirstSpirit

Since 2021, Crownpeak's WCMS FirstSpirit has been used at LMU, replacing Fiona.

Therefore , it is no longer possible to create new websites in Fiona. Existing websites in Fiona may be modified on a transitional basis until they are migrated to the new WCMS FirstSpirit by the web editors.

Are you interested in relaunching to FirstSpirit?

We have summarized all the important information for you under Milestones for the website. The VI.5 Internet Services department and your project administrator or coordinator will be happy to advise you on the move.

Why does it make sense to switch to FirstSpirit?

Change content

Information architecture Content by topic

Content is organized by topic rather than by organizational unit. This allows target groups to be addressed in a targeted manner and users to find their way around the site more quickly and intuitively.

Contemporary and responsive design

Optimized display for mobile devices and accessibility are guaranteed.
The modern design makes the content more appealing to your website visitors.

Easier to use for editors

Building and maintaining websites is easier for web editors: they edit the website directly in the preview window, and 1:1 language switching makes it easier to maintain and update content in multiple languages.
By using data sources for personal contacts, images, and events & news, data is maintained centrally once and displayed in various places.

Do I have to switch to FirstSpirit?

The operation and support of Fiona will be gradually scaled back and discontinued, and replaced by FirstSpirit.
FirstSpirit also complies with LMU requirements regarding corporate design, legal requirements, security standards, and accessibility guidelines.
All LMU institutions are strongly encouraged to use the university's central services.

Can data be transferred automatically from Fiona to FirstSpirit?

Some structured data (e.g., personal contacts) can be transferred semi-automatically. In principle, a 1:1 transfer of your website is not recommended.
Take advantage of the new possibilities offered by FirstSpirit to evaluate and redesign your website!
Department VI.5 Internet Services will be happy to advise you on the design.

Can only part of my Fiona website be converted?

No, because the entire website is always taken offline from Fiona. It is not possible to move only part of the content or even continue to link to parts of your old website.
The entire website must be moved to FirstSpirit.
