The publishing platform (Cordeo) is an application which allows users to create, manage and (re)order communication media through their internet browser. The publishing platform works according to the publish on demand model. It allows users to work in a fast and flexible manner, not depending on design agencies.

Platform flowchart and parts

The publishing platform consists of three elements:

  1. Library: repository for photos, logos, letter types, videos, text files, etc.
  2. Studio: a system for creating, editing and translating documents using templates
  3. WebShop: order documents and related items - made externally or with the platform - from a set network of suppliers

Request account and contact

Request a publishing platform account via support-platform@maastrichtuniversity.nl

You'll receive two emails from no-reply@cordeo.com: a confirmation email and an email with your login details. You can then choose your password. Each account has certain user rights determined by what you need to do in the platform (Library, Studio, Webshop or all three).

Users training courses

Before you start working in the platform, it is important that you do a training course on a specific topic.

There is a training course and user guide for each website section. Click here to register for a training.

Costs

The platform saves costs by:

  • not having to pay for an external designer
  • saving at least 20% on printing costs by having a set network of suppliers on the platform
  • small orders: thanks to the print on demand model, there is no need to have large quantities in stock

Publishing documents via the platform is free, though you pay for printing. These costs are displayed before you complete your order.

The following rules and procedures apply to any external party that builds apps for Maastricht University (UM). All UM apps are published on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Before any app is published, UM performs a quality check.

Code of conduct

To comply with our code of conduct, please contact the Information Manager or Privacy Officer from your department or unit about the registration of personal data and the guidelines that apply in this matter, like the signing of a Data Processing Agreement and other documents. Also see the UM privacy page and information on cyber security.

Technical support

The UM Digital Innovations team has in-house developers, designers and content creators. If necessary, we can give you technical support while you are developing the app. To do so, we need the following (upon request or upfront, depending on the nature of the app): 

  • Up-to-date source code with in-code documentation on a private GitHub repository
  • Details about the backend, hosting provider and contractual terms
  • In case of Software as a Service, specified delegated access and/or full access
  • Guarantees that the backend complies with legal requirements
  • Test and performance reports, depending on the app and backend service

General work agreement

Working with UM means you accept the following terms and conditions or practices:

  • We sign, compile and publish the app. We don't accept signed and compiled files sent by the developer.
  • You will commit to a Service Level Agreement in which we agree on updates, bug fixes, using persona's or cases, project description, among others.
  • We will also create a custom agreement in which we state what each party does and if expected to do.
  • To limit the time and cost of code views, we currently only support hybrid apps that use a certain framework (in our case Ionic).
  • The Digital Innovations team will be in touch with other developers and companies to maintain a realistic price and perform quality control checks.

Design and content

Your design must fit the UM house style.

If you have any questions about the UM house style, please contact Mariken van Meteren at m.vanmeteren@maastrichtuniversity.nl.
