Ektron and Square Root Solutions Celebrate Success of Long-Term Partnership

Business Wire, Dec 20, 2006

AMHERST, N.H. and MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Ektron, Inc., a technology and market leader in web content management software, and Square Root Solutions, Inc., a full-service new media agency, today announced that they recently marked the fifth anniversary of their successful partnership. Together the companies deliver dynamic websites powered by Ektron's web content management platform, CMS400.NET.

"Although its authoring technology is what initially brought us to Ektron, the enduring success of our partnership is based on so much more. Our companies share similar business philosophies around fairness, equity and value," said Andy Martin, president, Square Root Solutions. "Our companies have grown together over the last five years, and we've kept in lock-step as the function of the website has evolved from a simple presence to an integral communications vehicle."

Throughout the years, Square Root has coupled its Ektron product expertise with innovative web design, site planning, development, custom web-based applications, hosting and support. The firm provides end-to-end web services to clients who know what they want their website to do, but don't have the technical skills necessary to do it themselves. Square Root is an Ektron Platinum Certified Partner and has implemented award-winning sites for a diverse group of clients, including the Alabama Hospital Association, Bridgeway Medical, the City of Renton, Wash., Executive Development Networks and Neptune Technology Group Inc.

"Our Square Root relationship is the epitome of the partnership model Ektron had envisioned," said George Rassias, vice president of sales, Ektron. "We focus on providing a full featured product that offers all the web technology organizations want for their websites, while Square Root customizes and extends CMS400.NET to fit the needs of individual clients, expertly coupling form and function. From the very beginning, Square Root chose to standardize the web content management piece of its practice on Ektron. They're a great fit for customers looking for an integration partner who can turn their websites into dynamic communications tools to connect to their members and clients."
