Ektron Releases CMS200 version 2.0

Ektron, Inc. announced the release of Ektron CMS200 version 2.0. Ektron expands its multilingual, browser-based content management solution to Microsoft ASP.NET, Macromedia ColdFusion and PHP, in addition to the existing support for Microsoft ASP. CMS200 runs simultaneously on various Web application servers. For sites running on multiple application servers, this new “multi-platform” capability allows developers to standardize on Ektron CMS200. For migration from ASP to ASP.NET, Ektron allows for the conversion of various sections over time, rather than a one-time full site rollout. Ektron CMS200 includes Ektron eWebEditPro. Beyond newly added support for multiple application servers, CMS200 version 2.0 adds improved tracking for library items, enhanced reporting, new site previewing support, better content scheduling and new capabilities for tiered, delegated administration. Prices start at US$3,000. www.ektron.com
