Earlier this week, Ektron Inc. announced the release of Ektron CMS400.NET version 8.0. Version 8.0 builds on Ektron’s social software and enterprise Web content management to allow for the creation of sites that today’s web users expect. Version 8.0 includes the new eMarketing Suite, complete with the analytics, multivariate testing, drag and drop page assembly, ecommerce and enhanced site management tools that marketing teams can use to drive measurable business results.
CMS400.NET’s enterprise Web content management platform has always been about giving marketing teams the ability to manage the Web experience. The new eMarketing Suite brings an additional set of tools to grow a brand’s global message and online presence. In addition to building dynamic, engaging Web sites and communities, marketing teams now have the ability to rapidly assemble campaigns, comparing multiple variations of content, layout and design with multivariate testing. Leveraging rapid drag and drop page assembly and multivariate testing enables marketers to maximize business results efficiently and intuitively. The new analytics module lets marketers track visitor actions and demonstrate solid returns on online marketing investments. Ektron’s unique approach integrates best-of-breed site analytics packages such as Google Analytics into the authoring process, delivering analytics within the context of the content management system’s user interface.
Our sponsors are simply an amazing group of companies. Without their financial support the ability and incentive for hosting this site would be much less. If you like what you see at CMSReport.com, we encourage you to also pay a visit to our sponsors' websites. CMS Report is selective on who we allow to sponsor us and we've actually denied some very lucrative offers because we felt their products just weren't for our visitors. The banner ads you see from our sponsors represent products we could see ourselves utilizing.
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, you can purchase banner space at this site either through Google's ad services or through BuySellAds. Sponsorship helps us pay for the bills of our host provider, internet service provider, and any software or hardware needed to support CMSReport.com.
CMS Report wants to thank our current sponsors for their support.

During the past few weeks, I have been quietly updating CMS Report's CMS Focus page. CMS Focus is a list of the top 30 Web applications representing what I see as the Web applications of today and tomorrow which interest me the most. In a world where niche CMS news sites try to cover it all for their readers, I feel one of the strengths of CMSReport.com is limiting our focus on a certain number of CMS. The CMS on this list are applications I recommend site owners first look at before moving into the deeper waters of content management and social software.
Recently added to this list of content management systems are Ektron, FatWire, ocPortal, and Sitecore. The new additions are heavily weighted toward enterprise content management systems and are a reflection of my shifting focus from Web CMS for the Internet to those applications that run on an organization's intranet. Don't worry though, I still plan on talking about some of our favorite Web CMS such as Drupal, Joomla!, mojoPortal, and SilverStripe as I'm broadening not limiting my interests.
I bumped five CMS off the list and placed them into the "Hall of Fame". Those CMS no longer being listed under CMS Focus include SMF, OpenEdit, eGroupWare, e107, and dotCMS.
Our sponsors are simply an amazing group. Without their financial support the ability and incentive for hosting this site would be much less. If you like what you read at CMSReport.com, we encourage you to also pay a visit to the websites of our sponsors. We are actually a little bit choosy on the sponsors we allow on this site by making sure they provide content management related services and products that we ourselves would be interested in too.
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, you can purchase banner space at this site either through Google's ad services or through BuySellAds. Sponsorship helps us pay for the bills from our host provider, internet service provider, and any software or hardware needed to support CMSReport.com.

The month of July brought a big change to how we do sponsorship here at CMSReport.com. We removed the text link advertisements due to some of our sponsors using the service more for search engine optimization than true advertisement of their products. The goal for making this change is to pull in higher quality sponsors here at CMSReport.com. We think we can achieve this goal by only allowing advertisement via quality ad services such as Google's ad services and BuySellAds.
CMS Report took a financial hit because of this change, but with your help we'll recover. If you or your company produces a CMS or social media related product, please consider helping us out via the purchase of ad space. Sponsorship helps us pay the bills from our host provider, internet service provider, and any software or hardware needed to support CMSReport.com.

Sponsorship is a big thing here at CMS Report. Sponsorship helps pay the bills to the host provider, internet service provider, and any software or hardware needed to support CMSReport.com. Sponsorship also does one more important thing. Without sponsorship providing a little extra money in Bryan's pockets, he would have a hard time justifying the amount of time he spends away from his wife and son to support this blog. So if you become a sponsor at CMS Report, you're not only helping to fund a website, you may also be saving a marriage.
CMS Report uses BuySellAds.com to sell banner space to our sponsors. Currently, we're running a summer special with the price of our 300x250 banner space at only $70 per month. This price reflects 30% off our normal asking price.
