CIMS is a Macromedia Flash™-based Rich Media Application, designed for distribution over the Web, or via compact-disc. The system creates very compelling and intuitive interactive maps that are capable of being updated through a Flash™-based content management application.
According to CampusTours president Chris Carson, “The CIMS system really gives universities and other organizations a powerful tool for managing and updating very complex interactive maps. And unlike old interactive maps where you had to click on each building to find the philosophy department, all CIMS maps are fully searchable by topics, buildings, academic programs, and more.”
Interactive maps based on the CampusTours CIMS system support dynamic hotspots, unlimited media items attached to any stop (videos, photos, slideshows, narration, animation etc.), unlimited searchable topics and subtopics, direct building access, control over building highlight colors and map icons, unlimited numbers of customizable map layers for any purpose (use layers to highlight dormitories, academic buildings, athletic facilities, handicapped accessible facilities, emergency call boxes, parking areas, etc.), and branding capabilities to allow organizations to customize the map with their colors, links and logo.
