Ektron Makes a Move to the West

Ektron Opens Offices in Califrnia and Texas

From East to WestEktron is now ready to jump into those cowboy boots and embrace the oh-so-desired Bay Area. The Web CMS vendor (quite predictably so) announced the opening of two new offices — in San Francisco, California, and in Austin, Texas.

The addition of the new offices will extend Ektron’s market reach and provide additional support and services critical to the company’s expanding customer base and partner channel.

Ektron reports increasing demand for its products and services over the past 5 years. It also shows the revenue growth rate of over 400%.

During the past two years, due to the consistent increase in sales and ongoing development of the company’s partner channel, Ektron grew staff levels to approximately 200 employees and opened offices in Toronto, Canada, Sydney, Australia and the U.K.

The new San Francisco office will serve as a services and training facility. The Austin office will provide additional sales and services resources.

Coming on the heels of the September announcement of Ektron CMS400.NET v7.6 and Ektron’s new deployment options, Ektron is expanding big time. No wonder — it’s cheap, flexible, gets accolades every now and then and demos well.
