What Customers are Saying

We love using CommonSpot. The system’s flexibility and customizability inspires our team to think about how we can use it to create new website features that will help the University meet its business goals. New development can be built quickly and with relative ease. With CommonSpot, the possibilities are endless.

Rob Saxon, Director of Web Management, Mercer University

We built several custom administration tools using CommonSpot's application development framework. One application enabled us to deliver role specific content to users via our corporate intranet based on their computer login. The app dev framework was very easy to use. In fact, CommonSpot is very easy to use.
