Content Management System (CMS)

Squiz: Matrix

The State of Indiana’s new CMS system is called Matrix.

IN.gov is currently making the switch to a new content management system- Matrix from Squiz. This change brings a more modern, efficient and intuitive system.

IN.gov will be taking each agency’s website and picking up the content and pages and bringing them into the new CMS.

A project manager from Indiana Interactive has reached out to each agency to designate a desired date and move into the new CMS in 2020 or 2021.

The pilot migrations have begun and full roll-outs will proceed through December 2021.

Standard agency templates (marketing and information) will be migrated first, and custom templates will be migrated after, likely in 2021.

Training for Matrix is going to be completed when your agency is closer to migrating to the new tool.
