AMHERST, NH, August 8, 2005 - Ektron, an innovator in Web content and document management, today announced winners of the 2005 Ektron All-Stars Awards. Selected from hundreds of submissions among Ektron customers, winners represent some of the most innovative websites using Ektron Web content management solutions and authoring tools. All-Star participants submitted information on how Ektron software helps them meet business and technical goals, advance online strategies, better satisfy site visitors, identify tangible ROI and support effective business processes.
The 2005 Ektron All-Star MVP is Concord Camera Corp., a global company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets popularly priced, easy-to-use image capture products. Hollywood, Florida-based Concord engaged Ektron partner, BGT Partners of Miami, to overhaul its corporate site to showcase Concord products and to reflect desired brand positioning. BGT integrated Ektron CMS400.NET, a native .NET Web content management system and extended the application by designing a custom “Product Manager,” enabling Concord to easily manage information for 40+ products. The new site has dramatically improved Concord’s online presence and business. Products are attractively displayed, the site is easy to navigate and visitor volume is significantly higher.
“Ektron CMS400.NET, has enabled us to manage our website content more effectively and efficiently, and has provided us with the cutting edge tools required to maintain dynamic and fresh content throughout the site, thereby enhancing the consumer experience,” says Michelle Beauchamp, Concords’ Director of Marketing Communications. “Ektron’s easy-to-use solution has proven its value time and again.
