"CIOs and CMOs have made significant investments in technologies like analytics, customer relationship management, eCommerce, globalization, marketing automation, search, social networks and video. Companies are not looking to replace these existing investments; instead, they want to derive more value from them," said Bill Rogers, founder and CEO of Ektron. "The fact that Ektron is not focused on hyped point solutions, but true technical integrations that extend the value of our technology with the market-leading technologies of our partners is a key differentiator for us."
Among Ektron's new Technology Partners are:
-- Brightcove, a cloud-based online video platform, is used by media
companies, businesses and organizations worldwide to publish and
distribute video on the Web. "Media publishers today are surrounded by
an increasingly fragmented landscape of devices and destinations, which
present both new opportunities and challenges," said Jeff Whatcott,
senior vice president of marketing at Brightcove. "Partnering with
organizations like Ektron enables our mutual customers to better
navigate this new landscape and enhance their site experiences while
also increasing customer engagement and adoption."
-- Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX) is a provider of
translation, development and testing solutions. Global organizations
rely on Lionbridge to increase international market share, speed
adoption of global products and content, and enhance their return on
enterprise IT investments. "The Connector that we have built with Ektron
ensures that Lionbridge clients have seamless global content
functionality through Freeway, our client facing-portal," said Henri
Broekmate, SVP of Worldwide Operations, Lionbridge. "This integration
is another part of our strategy to offer technology-led solutions that
accelerate time to market and increase our clients' global competitive
advantage."
-- Webtrends is the global leader in mobile and social analytics.
Webtrends enables digital marketers to create measure, and improve their
efforts across digital channels to maximize return on digital
investments. Webtrends products and services are trusted by thousands
of leading brands and global organizations, including Microsoft, Toyota,
Visa, Barclays and The New York Times. "Ektron recognizes the
significant value in analytics solutions and the power of integrated
analytics options," said James McDermott, vice president of business
development at Webtrends. "Deep integration like Ektron's ensure that
our mutual clients maximize their marketing investments and build
strategic customer experiences."
