Hetzner (Pty) Ltd first to launch CM4all WebsiteCreator in South Africa

Hetzner (Pty) Ltd, South Africa’s largest specialist Web Host, has launched the CM4all WebsiteCreator Business Edition to operate via multiple installations in the company’s Cape Town and Johannesburg Data Centers.

CM4all, a leading provider of web-based applications, is pleased to announce that Hetzner (Pty) Ltd (http://www.hetzner.co.za) has licensed the new CM4all WebsiteCreator Business Edition to serve and expand its SME and mid-corporate trans-continental markets.

Based in Cape Town, Hetzner (Pty) Ltd has been providing reliable and robust web hosting solutions since 1999. An affiliation with Hetzner Online AG in Germany enables the company to share skills, services and expertise across platforms and continents. Acknowledged as a Top Performing Company for the third year running in 2007 by Top Companies Publishing (Pty) Ltd; Hetzner (Pty) Ltd currently controls over 20% of the South African web hosting market.

“It’s a pleasure to earn the custom of Hetzner and welcome them as our first South African OEM partner. We’re looking forward to a successful long term association commencing with the latest release of our CM4all WebsiteCreator Business Edition. We’re confident the new corporate broadcasting features, SEO enhancements and interoperability measures in this release will help Hetzner to differentiate themselves from competitors in the South African market,” said Robert Schovenberg, CEO of CM-AG. 

As the first South African OEM to partner with CM4all and release its WebsiteCreator Business Edition, Hetzner (Pty) Ltd provides new and existing customers with the tools to create and maintain corporate and small-to-medium enterprise websites. The latest version of the software is enriched with corporate multimedia broadcast power through the updated Business Media Album, a new Business Blog and new professionally designed business templates. 

Additionally it includes tools for SEO Optimization such as Google Analytics® and keyword entry, as well as the ability to simultaneously publish HTML and W3C accessible pages in easy and intuitive steps.

“We’re very satisfied to have found a premium value added service product that fits so well in our product strategy”, said Hans Wencke, MD at Hetzner (Pty) Ltd. “By adding the CM4all WebsiteCreator Business Edition to our portfolio, we are able to expand Hetzner’s value offering to our customers.” 

As an incremental part of an OEM partnership with CM4all, the WebsiteCreator Business Edition was released with brand customization of the application’s Graphical User Interface to project the already well-established Hetzner (Pty) Ltd corporate identity even deeper into the market.
