Boston, MA (November 29, 2001) —In line with the company’s objective to expand the global partner network for its ColdFusionÒ based content management solution, PaperThin, Inc. today announced that it has signed distribution agreements with five new strategic partners. These Web consulting and hosting partners will work closely with PaperThin to resell, implement and/or host CommonSpotÔ Content Server, PaperThin’s flagship content management solution, in the U.S. and Europe.
Despite a general downward trend in technology spending, demand for affordable yet robust content management solutions remains strong, according to many industry analysts. Organizations view their Web sites as vital to their business strategy, and the need for cost-effective tools to manage those sites efficiently is increasing. As part of its effort to meet that growing demand, PaperThin has been expanding its partner network.
“Many companies who are looking for content management solutions are doing so in the process of a new site launch, or a total site redesign. Content management is often a piece of a larger project, where companies are looking for outside assistance to coordinate the site build and launch. Our experienced partners are well positioned to offer a full solution, and we recognize that they can be of great value in helping clients to implement a complete Web site,” said Todd Peters, President of PaperThin.
Joining PaperThin’s partner network are: CFDynamics (
www.cfdynamics.com), a Utah-based Web hosting company, Imagicians Interactive (
www.imagicians.com) a Massachusetts-based interactive agency, Kudos Information Limited (
www.kudos-idd.com), a UK-based design and development firm with offices throughout Europe and the U.S., Ringger (
www.ringger.com), a Tennessee-based Web consulting organization, and Woodbourne Solutions (
www.woodbournesolutions.com),a Maryland-based Web strategy and consulting firm.
Each of these companies is also an Allaire/Macromedia partner, specializing in implementing, supporting and/or hosting technologies such as ColdFusion, Flash, Dreamweaver and other Macromedia products. Each also has a focus on implementing content management solutions for their customers.
According to Jay Lozada, President of Imagicians Interactive, “When our clients have fully-featured content management requirements, it is comforting to know that there is a professional solution available at a practical price. CommonSpot delivers an exceptional content management application while providing a framework for our team to rapidly develop, deploy and scale upon. I was excited to finally see Web-based software developed ‘the right way’ from functionality to the user experience!”
“In selecting partners, we look for those companies who recognize the value of content management, and are committed to delivering affordable solutions that meet the customer’s needs. We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with each of these organizations,“ added Peters.
Earlier this year, PaperThin added several other partners to its global network, including Fig Leaf Software in Washington, DC, Actor Media Group AS in Denmark, Highlander Software in England, and AJJA IS, Inc., in Canada.
