eZ Systems AS ( http://www.ez.no), the creator of the award winning
Open Source Web Content Management Platform, eZ Publish, today announced a
partnership with Circdata ( http://www.circdata.com). The UK based
company is a leader in circulation management and event registrations for
the publishing and event industry. The partnership will extend the powerful
eZ Publish content management platform by adding Circdata's services and
expertise in circulation management, event registrations and overall
audience relationship management.
One of the toughest challenges facing media companies is how to manage
content and audience information across many channels: print, websites,
tablets etc. Together, eZ System's award winning multi-channel content
management system and Circdata's multi-channel database system Fusion(R),
allow media companies to manage both content and data in a seamless system.
This powerful combination will streamline their business processes, give
them a single-view of their audience information and enable them to develop
their audience and advertising opportunities.
James Ormiston, Managing Director of Circdata explains: "Our
multi-channel single audience approach offers unique opportunities. If a
customer reads a certain article on your website there is a high probability
that they are interested in subscribing to a magazine, attending an event on
the same theme and buying related products from your shopping cart.
Connecting your eZ Publish website to Fusion(R) allows media companies to
explore these additional audience development, advertising and sales
opportunities".
"Circdata is the leading technology for holistic audience development
and this partnership extends our portfolio to a full set of content
providers worldwide", says Gabriele Viebach, CEO of eZ Systems.
About Circdata:
Circdata has created a unique integrated approach to audience
relationship management using its Fusion(R) system. The system draws on a
single database to support customer interaction for circulation, delegate
management (for events and conferences), e-newsletters, email marketing
campaigns, onsite registrations, e-commerce, websites and data management.
