Northeastern
"Xythos is a key part of the Northeastern On Demand infrastructure, particularly as we implement centralizing content storage to improve management. More important, Xythos' adoption of open standards -- such asJSR-170 -- enables us to flexibly develop to a common content repository for applications within our campus".
Rick Mickool, Executive Director and CTO, Information Services - Northeastern University
