[November 23, 2009] American Technology Services Continues Drive to Integrate Membership System Products with Ektron CMS Products Tweet FAIRFAX, Va. --(Business Wire)-- American Technology (News - Alert) Services, Inc. announced the successful completion of another integration project in its drive to deliver web site integration between Ektron's CMS400.NET (News - Alert) content management system and every major association membership system (AMS) product on the market. The project for the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET) web site integration is the latest in these efforts. Previous work has included integration of the Ektron CMS400.NET product with iMIS, IMPak, CRM for Members, Q®, and others. American Technology Services' goal is to offer a proven CMS product to associations, regardless of what the membership system may be. The ASPET project was typical of association web site integration projects in that it included three parts: the web site design using the Ektron content management system, the back-end integration with the Euclid ClearVantage membership system, and hosting services. The integrated site gives ASPET streamlined member services that build on the Euclid ClearVantage member self-service functions, while giving the ASPET staff members a way to keep the web site content up to date more easily and drive new Web 2.0 features to the members. Christine Carrico, PhD, Executive Officer at ASPET said, "We chose American Technology Services to handle our redesign project because of our past experience with their superior service and willingness to listen and understand our needs. Their technical ability and strong experience implementing and integrating CMS products with AMS packages makes them an industry leader." Alex Koludrovic, Vice President of Internet Services at American Technology Services, noted, "The Ektron-Euclid integration continues our progress toward offering associations a proven content management solution no matter what association membership system they have today or may choose in the future. We believe the decision about the CMS product should not depend on which one works with an association's membership package, because we will be able to offer a solution for any AMS package on the market." Mr. Koludrovic added, "We worked with ASPET to create a great new design, improved navigation, and new functionality for blogs and discussion forums to allow ASPET members to more easily interact with one another. This was not our first Ektron-Euclid integration, but is significant in that it represents a maturation of our expertise with Euclid and web sites to the point where we can announce this officially as a proven strength." The American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET) is a 4,800 member scientific society whose members conduct basic and clinical pharmacological research in academia, industry and the government. Their members research efforts help develop new medicines and therapeutic agents to fight existing and emerging diseases. Learn more at www.aspet.org.
