The Internet Services Unit VI.5 supports and advises over 1,000 editors in their work with the FirstSpirit and Fiona WCMS systems and provides technical support for numerous LMU websites.
Our tasks range from project management for relaunches and new website set-up to support, consulting, and training, as well as assistance with questions regarding conception, technology, design, and new feature requirements. In addition, we develop new functions, coordinate technical operations and the further development of the systems, as well as implement the LMU corporate design on the web.
We work closely with all LMU faculties, Press and Communications, all LMU editors, and are also in close contact with project administrators and coordinators at the faculty level.
Please contact us if...
We have prepared contact forms for the most common inquiries. Please use these so that we can assist you as quickly as possible.
Larger organizational units at LMU have their own FirstSpirit web projects, in which all websites for that area are managed. Project administrators and coordinators are the main contact point for editors.
The project administrator handles the technical and administrative tasks within a web project. In doing so, this person works closely with the technical team of Division VI.5 Internet Services. As a rule, there is one person per web project who fulfills this role.
Tasks:
Special case: Interdepartmental projects
In so-called "interdepartmental projects" that are not directly assigned to an organizational unit, the technical and administrative tasks are handled by Division VI.5 Internet Services.
The project coordinator is responsible for coordinating the implementation of websites for the entire web project. This role can be combined with that of project administration—but does not have to be.
Tasks:
Central and interdepartmental websites are placed within dedicated "umbrella projects" in FirstSpirit. Content-related support is provided by the site coordination of the respective department, while technical support is handled by Department VI.5 Internet Services.
The site coordinator is responsible only for coordinating and managing the content of their own website, not all websites within a given project.
Tasks:
Department VI.5 Internet Services handles project administration tasks for websites within umbrella projects.
