webEdition opens North American Office
webEdition Software GmbH of Karlsruhe, Germany, has announced the opening of its North American subsidiary, webEdition Software Ltd., to market and support their award-winning web content management system (CMS).
Sales and support for North American customers will henceforth be handled by webEdition Software Ltd. in Ottawa, Canada.
"We've seen such tremendous worldwide growth in the demand for our product that we've opened an office whose mandate is to serve the needs of our North American customers", says Daniel Taylor, Ph.D., the newly appointed President and CEO of webEdition Software Ltd.
The company’s international success is owing to several factors. First, the webEdition CMS is designed specifically for web development agencies and small and medium-sized enterprises (SME), a sector that has hitherto been overlooked by most CMS vendors. Typically, CMSs have been either enterprise level systems costing several thousands of dollars—far outside the budget of most SMEs, or less expensive systems lacking in essential features. The webEdition CMS suite addresses this niche: the Standard Version of this full-featured, modular system starts at just $249 US, but it has capabilities that one often finds in systems that can cost more than 100 times the price.
In addition to webEdition’s extremely competitive price-quality relationship, its user-friendly interface is particularly attractive to end users who have little or no knowledge of HTML programming. The Super-Easy-Edit-Mode allows users to navigate through their web site using their regular browser, and to edit their web page content using a simple WYSIWYG editor.
Finally, webEdition embraces a customer-focused business model. The webEdition CMS’s "open source" design allows users to add customized enhancements and to integrate third-party solutions. Moreover, the software comes with a no-charge technical assistance package provided by webEdition’s international team of supporters. This too ensures that the needs of the local market are addressed promptly and professionally. “The opening of our North American office is entirely in keeping with our corporate philosophy,” says Dr. Taylor. “We tend to work quite closely with our customers, something that our users sometimes find surprising, considering our business is conducted over the Internet. We look forward to working with our customers and partners here in North America.” 06.04.2004, webEdition Software GmbH
