Boston, MA (February 27, 2003) -- PaperThin, Inc., a leading mid-market content management system vendor, today announced that several organizations in the association and non-profit sectors have recently selected CommonSpot™ Content Server to manage their Internet, intranet and extranet sites. As the scope of Web site management becomes ever more complex, associations and other non-profit organizations are increasingly looking for solutions that allow them to reach out to their member communities, the public and other important audiences through the Web efficiently and affordably. Using CommonSpot, non-technical staff within these organizations are able to easily and cost-effectively create and deliver dynamic, personalized content to members and other key constituents.
CommonSpot was recently selected by NARAL ProChoice America (Washington, D.C.), the Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (Stockholm, Sweden) and the International Right of Way Association (Torrance, Calif.). In the education non-profit sector, the Association for Career and Technical Education (Alexandria, Va.) and the American Physical Society (College Park, Md.) also recently selected CommonSpot Content Server. In addition, the Real Estate Round Table (Washington, D.C.) and the Florida Association of Realtors (Orlando, Fla.) have selected CommonSpot to manage their Internet sites.
Most associations have limited financial and technical resources, and thus seek out products that can allow them to maximize internal resources effectively. According to NARAL Pro-Choice, "After an extensive review of competing solutions, we found CommonSpot to offer the greatest number of features to meet our current and future needs with the lowest point of entry."
CommonSpot provides easy-to-use tools for creating and publishing content within a controlled environment. No special technical knowledge is required, and authors can publish documents, images, PDFs, video clips and other content using a wizards-based interface. Features such as templates and style sheets allow a designer to maintain a consistent look and feel throughout the site. CommonSpot also makes it easy to create a members-only section, and authenticate users against an existing member database, ensuring that only those with appropriate rights can access certain content.
“As technology spending continues to be heavily scrutinized, we are seeing a steady demand for products which can be implemented quickly, and deliver a quantifiable ROI,” noted Todd Peters, president of PaperThin, Inc. “The Web is a great way for associations and non-profit organizations to communicate with and add value to members. With CommonSpot’s out-of-the-box framework and flexible customization capabilities, organizations can build dynamic Web sites quickly, and can also extend CommonSpot to meet their unique requirements.”
