NASHUA, N.H., Jan. 27, 2011 - Ektron, a web content management, social software and marketing optimization solutions provider, today announced the agenda and schedule for its 2011 worldwide user group tour. Ektron Local User Group meetings are interactive sessions held between Ektron senior management and engineers and the company's partners and customers. The events are held free of charge in North America, the United Kingdom and in the Asia-Pacific region.
Some of the comments and feedback Ektron received during the 2010 user group meetings tour included:
o "The meeting helped me understand where Ektron as an organization is
heading with their application."
o "It's really beneficial to talk with other users and Ektron knowledge
experts to see the creative ways in which they use Ektron."
o "The discussions on new product functionality and exchanging real-world
experiences with my peers were two of the stand-outs of the meeting
agenda."
Highlights of this year's User Group meetings will include the 2011 Ektron Technology Roadmap, focused on the new Ektron SiteSearch technology and expanded Ektron Framework API. A Regional Solution Showcase at each stop on the tour will have local user group members detailing their personal success stories working with Ektron. "Amazing Ektron Deployments" will explore how Ektron is being used as the driving technology at several Fortune 500 companies.
The recently released "Ektron Developer's Guide: Building an Ektron Powered Website," a comprehensive technical guide covering the Ektron CMS400.NET web content management platform, will be featured at each user group meeting.
"The goal of our Guide is to give .NET developers a complete reference book that they can use as a resource to support their work in successfully creating an Ektron web project," said Bill Cava, Ektron's chief evangelist and co-author of the 'Ektron Developer's Guide.' "I'm looking forward to discussing the book with our developer community and getting feedback at this year's user group meetings."
