Ektron and VML Partner

Ektron Inc. and VML announced that they have established integration between Ektron's CMS400.NET content management solution and Microsoft's Silverlight. Silverlight is Microsoft's new cross-browser plug-in for delivering richer Web experiences to end-users, including video and animation. VML has produced a number of public Silverlight-based applications for Microsoft, including the Silverlight site, HelloSecureWorld. VML turned to partner Ektron to provide a framework for achieving this solution. The integration was written to support both Silverlight 1.0 and the 2.0 beta, thus allowing the solution to be deployed today as well as into the future, when 2.0 is released from beta. In support of the Silverlight technology, VML has a 15-member team of Silverlight developers and designers. Ektron has 35 engineers dedicated to Microsoft Technology and the Silverlight initiative. Both companies are also participating members in the Microsoft Silverlight Partner Initiative program. http://www.ektron.com
