Ektron is widely recognized for their excellence in designing web content management systems (CMS) that maximize connectivity and the user interface.
“Partnering with Ektron was a logical next step for Centare Group,” says Ed Chaltry, Centare Group’s Chief Technical Officer. “As companies demand more control over their web content and look for CMS systems with more advanced capabilities, our consultants will be able to present Ektron as a viable solution. This partnership ensures that our experts will have access to Ektron’s extensive resources and training in the latest Ektron technologies. Ultimately that means enhanced service and innovation opportunities for our clients.”
Ektron is now Centare Group’s fourth corporate partner. Other partners include Microsoft, IBM and Actuate. These exclusive partnerships allow Centare Group to define information strategies and implement and integrate application systems utilizing leading technologies to best meet client needs.
In conjunction with Centare Group’s Ektron partnership, Centare Group will host a Lunch & Learn event on Wednesday, May 21 at Friday’s Front Row at Miller Park.
