"We selected Ektron CMS400.NET because the product demonstrates clearly identifiable technology breakthroughs that serve Ektron's full spectrum of constituencies, especially their customers," said Hugh McKellar, editor in chief of KMWorld.

Today's site visitor is more social, tech-savvy and engaged with their 'personal' brands. Therefore, companies require innovative approaches to create, manage, and deploy websites that engage, convert and retain site visitors. Combining Ektron's WCM platform with the Ektron Marketing Optimization and Social Software Suites allows companies to achieve their business goals with more contextual, personal, social and mobile web experiences. The Ektron Marketing Optimization Suite gives marketers real-time insight into the behavior of site visitors and optimizes the web experience to recognize measurable business results. The Ektron Social Software Suite enables companies to engage customers, prospects and employees through communities and collaboration.  Ektron also is able to power a complete shopping experience on sites with eCommerce, and automate website provisioning with eSync which efficiently deploys content, code, configuration and assets to worldwide server infrastructures.
