ECM Provider KnowledgeTree^® Launches Green IT Promotion to Benefit Food & Trees for Africa

RALEIGH, NC — October 6, 2009 — KnowledgeTree^®, an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) provider focusing on affordable document management software that is easily installed and used by business professionals, today announced the launch of a green IT promotion benefiting Food & Trees for Africa to promote environmental sustainability. As part of this initiative, for every new sale over $4,500, KnowledgeTree will plant a tree in Africa on the customer’s behalf.

Established in 1990, Food & Trees for Africa (FTFA) embraces best practices in sustainable environmental activities that empower poor communities while also playing an important role in reducing the carbon emissions that are threatening the planet. FTFA brings trees to impoverished areas through its National Tree Distribution Program, which relies on help from corporate sponsors like KnowledgeTree.
