CM4all to showcase new products at HostingCon 2007

CM4all releases a new and improved Business Edition of its worldwide renowned sitebuilding tool with enhanced Web 2.0 capabilities and new business-focused features and a new Backup Client for its online storage solution, the CM4all OnlineDrive.

CM4all, a leading developer of Web-based applications for the Internet, today announced the availability of its new release of the CM4all WebsiteCreator Business Edition and the new Backup Client for the CM4all OnlineDrive. Both products will be officially presented for the first time at HostingCon 2007 and will be available to web hosting companies, MSOs, ISPs, and telcos for licensing, customization and installation soon.

The new release of the CM4all WebsiteCreator Business Edition empowers any level of business user to create their own dynamic company website with enlarged Web 2.0 capabilities and some very specific new business features such as; a Business blog ideally suited for company news, press releases and marketing campaigns, a Multi-Media album for easy upload of photos, videos and music files and integrated Live Website Statistics with an open interface to popular statistic tools like Google® Analytics. In addition, the design template database of professional agency-designed business templates has been significantly extended.

The new Business blog is a corporate broadcast medium where users can feed company information to their visitors. Comments and RSS feeds can be enabled or disabled. The clear layout of the Business blog allows for the smooth dissemination of information to visitors, resulting in a renewal of visitor interest to the website.

With the new Live Website Statistics feature, website owners now have full control over all user-generated content and can actively monitor visitor interactivity and website interest using popular online statistics software like Google® Analytics. Easy access to visitor interactivity ensures that unwanted content can be deleted quickly, and responses can be posted in good time. In addition, because the new Business Edition is powered by unique CM4all technology, business users do not need several software applications to run multiple websites in HTML, .mobi and W3C Accessible formats. Multiple output format publishing is simply done by the push of a button, ensuring interoperability.

Other features of the new and improved CM4all WebsiteCreator Business Edition include enhanced search engine settings with the generation of the most up-to-date technology sitemap files, WYSIWYG editor enhancements with definition of own paragraphs through the enhanced CSS paragraph editor and setting a Favicon for the published website including a Favicon editor with import option for images.

The new Backup Client for the CM4all OnlineDrive allows customers to schedule or force backups to their CM4all OnlineDrive. This feature addition extends the levels of the user’s protection from data loss, ensures unrestricted global access to the latest files and offers flexible backup management routines by multiple profiles. The platform friendly add-on for the OnlineDrive works with Windows® 2000, XP, Vista and Macs and an integrated Auto-update function keep the application up to date.

“By integrating new business features such as a Business blog, Live website statistics and analysis, Web 2.0 functionality and additional professionally designed business-oriented templates, we are sure that this new release of the CM4all WebsiteCreator Business Edition will increase our competitive edge. We are also certain that it will be a very valuable update for our existing and new customers, enabling them to generate additional revenue and increase customer retention,” said Robert Schovenberg, CEO of CM4all.

“With the use of our unique CM4all technology based on using XML and XSLT for data and template description, we are able to meet current formats today such as HTML, .mobi and W3C Accessibility, whilst at the same time be very confident that we are well prepared for future formats and the demand to serve multiple output format websites from a single software,” said Cornel Schnietz, CTO of CM4all.

Since the launch of the CM4all WebsiteCreator Consumer Edition at last year’s HostingCon in Las Vegas, OEM customers of CM4all can target both the Business and Consumer markets simultaneously, as only one software installation, which includes both editions is required. As always, the CM4all WebsiteCreator has additional appeal for service providers seeking to retain their brand identity and benefit from resourceful and ongoing CM4all feature developments.

CM4all will be showcasing all of their latest product offerings at booth # 509 at HostingCon 2007.
