WebSolutions Technology, Inc. Named Ektron’s Partner of the Year
AURORA, Ill. (April 13, 2010) – Enterprise technology company WebSolutions Technology, Inc. of Aurora, Ill. has been named 2009 Partner of the Year by Ektron Inc., an international third-party content management system (CMS) supplier with headquarters in Nashua, N.H. The award is Ektron’s highest distinction for certified partners.
WebSolutions (WSOL) was honored for continued success in providing its customers with solutions to their unique web design and hosting needs. WSOL was also lauded for its team of service-minded designers, programmers and support engineers. Ektron made the announcement during a special Webinar this spring.
“Ektron is committed to seeing every web project undertaken with our technology succeed,” said Ed Rogers, Ektron chief operating officer. “WSOL understands this philosophy and has a track record of success that builds both Ektron’s and its own reputation with each deployment.”
WSOL has represented Ektron’s content management system Ektron CMS400.NET for more than five years.
“Our clients, ranging from international retailers such as IGA to major hospitals and a variety of private organizations, benefit from Ektron’s content management system because it gives them maximum control of their website and they can easily maintain and update their sites in-house,” said Jeff Gahn, president, WSOL. “It has been a win-win solution for everyone involved, whether it’s the consumer who navigates the site, the company that maintains the site, or those like us who provide design and implementation services.”
The Partner of the Year award is especially important to WSOL because it is a “best-of-the-best” honor. WSOL has been at the ELITE partner level – among Ektron’s top 10 partners – for the past few years and has continually worked to optimize the user experience for their clients using the CMS.
In addition to Partner of the Year, WSOL received an All-Star award in 2009 from Ektron for its work on the IGA.com website. The site is powered by the dynamic WSOL SuperTemplate technology that provides powerful control of page layouts and functionality within the Ektron CMS framework.
“We have developed innovative approaches using Ektron’s products, which helps users deploy custom websites and functionality that truly drive and improve their respective businesses,” Gahn said. “As proud as we are about our recent accomplishments, we’re continually looking toward the future and building on our client’s success by pushing creative and technical boundaries to get the most from Ektron’s CMS capability.”
