Mediasurface named one of "100
Companies that Matter" for 2008
Mediasurface (UK, AIM: MSR) announces that it has been
selected to the prestigious list of 100 Companies that Matter for
2008 by leading information provider, KMWorld.
February 21, 2008 - Stamford, CT: Mediasurface,
Europe's leading content management software provider, today
announced that it has been selected as one of KMWorld's "100
Companies that Matter" in knowledge management for 2008.
Mediasurface develops markets and implements Web Content Management
Solutions (CMS) that helps business users regain ownership of their
websites, while enabling busy IT departments to concentrate on
their core responsibilities.
The selections were made over the past 12
months and recognize vendors who have distinguished themselves
because of their role in creating, enhancing or defining a
market. The List, now in its eighth year, is compiled by KM
practitioners, theorists, analysts, vendors and their customers and
colleagues. Equally important in the selection, was the
ability to demonstrate the ability of straightforward, agile
business planning and execution.
Said Andy Peart, Chief Marketing Officer at
Mediasurface,
“Knowledge managementcomprises a range of
practices used by organizations to identify, create, represent, and
distribute knowledge—in our case via corporate intranets,
internets, extranets and other digital channels. The primary
technologies that support these channels are well understood and
widely used, but have been limited in the past by lack of
flexibility. Across the Mediasurface group, we’re constantly
striving to bring our customers powerful and innovative ways to
edit, publish and manage the content on their websites and enhance
the solutions that add greater interactivity into their KM
environments. We’re truly pleased to be named to KMWorld’s
List.”
Hugh McKellar, Editor in Chief,
KMWorld magazine and List evaluation team member,
added:
“This is the year that content and knowledge
management professionals must find new and innovative techniques to
stay ahead of the curve. Mediasurface has been delivering
that innovation for over 10 years and will continue to meet the
demand through their centric approach to solving web content and
knowledge management problems.” He continues, “If there is a single
trait shared by the companies named to this year’s list, it’s their
determination to provide the right solution to the right
people. Clearly, attitude alone doesn't warrant inclusion on
the list; attitude must be accompanied by elegance in the design
and implementation of their software. Mediasurface has clearly
achieved this in their product and their vision.”
Empowering creativity and proactivity at all levels,
Mediasurface has three main product suites in its portfolio -
Morello, Immediacy and Pepperio. Each embodies the company's vision
of business critical technology that engages the business user and
frees IT from the burden of day to day website management.
