Ektron’s All-Star Awards seek to identify the most innovative and effective use of Ektron’s Web content management (WCM) platform, Ektron CMS400.NET by both customers and partners when building their Web sites. Nominees were judged on the development and design of their site, their ability to use CMS400.NET functionally to solve critical business issues and the tangible results that they have achieved from their implementation.

“The Ektron All Stars are a great representation of all the different types of Web sites that can be built using Ektron’s Web content management platform,” stated Bill Rogers, chief executive officer at Ektron. “Each of the 2009 winners has created a Web site that delivers exceptional business value to their target audiences, whether that is their customer base, their employees or members of their external communities.”

John Kee, director of sales and marketing at Ektron Elite partner, WebSolutions Technology, Inc, commented, “Ektron All Star Awards represent the best of the CMS400.NET community and it’s an honor to be selected. As an ELITE Ektron partner, we strive to be the best and this award validates that we are among the best at implementing and hosting CMS400.NET Web sites.”
