Leading business intelligence and Web service provider leverages Ektron CMS400.NET to develop a custom Web site for the Manufacturing Industry

NEW LONDON, Conn. & NASHUA, N.H. -- MResult[R] Corp. and Ektron Inc., a technology and market leader in Web content management software, today announced the availability of a new Starter Site for Manufacturers. Based on the industry leading Ektron CMS400.NET, the Starter Site consists of a customizable information architecture, system of content templates, and pre-defined functional modules designed to help manufacturers quickly implement consumer-facing Web sites.

Yann Beaullan Thong, MResult's VP of Business Development, was instrumental in the decision to partner with Ektron in the development of the product. "I first became aware of Ektron's CMS when I was a VP at Aetna Health, managing their consumer health portal. When we were evaluating enterprise-level content management systems, Ektron's functionality scored high on every measure. When I later moved to MResult and began formulating our Manufacturing Portal offering, Ektron's CMS400.NET was a natural choice for the product's core functionality."

MResult's Starter Site includes features especially suited for Manufacturers, such as dealer locator, product carousel and product comparison tools, which complement Ektron's easy content management, personalization, searchable taxonomies, social networking and extendable API. "Taken together," says Beaullan-Thong, "It adds up to a scalable enterprise platform that can grow with your business without the need for costly add-ons. We're providing a single, integrated platform to manage intranet, extranet, and Internet applications across the enterprise."

"We are very excited to announce the availability of the Manufacturing Starter Site with MResult," stated Ed Rogers, chief operating officer of Ektron. "MResult has taken years of experience, customer feedback and best practices and developed a powerful starter application tailored specifically to meet manufactures needs. Rogers continued, "in addition to being specialized for the manufacturing industry, the site will also contain the navigation structure, information delivery system, and all of the out-of-the-box functionality that Ektron CMS400.NET provides."

The MResult Manufacturing Starter Site, based on Ektron CMS400.NET is now available. For additional product information please contact an MResult Representative at +1 866-511-6737 or startersite@mresult.com.
