25. “We have been unsuccessful with 3 prior technology partners. One of the
things that Suyati really brought to the table was the ability to plan the
project, and staying within the budget. Suyati delivered on-time and on –
budget which was critical. Another critical component that I think Suyati
has is real entrepreneurial spirit and they want to help you develop a
product and a website that is better than anything that’s out there and
better than what you envisioned.“

and a solid software project management discipline to bear when taking
on projects. I was continually impressed with how the Suyati team took
our high level vision statements and goals forward, successfully
translating them in to a meaningful project plan; which they delivered on
time, with a high degree of quality and very little supervision from us.
It was truly a pleasure working with the Suyati team and I would
recommend them any day for Ektron related work.”

Editor's Notes
Have deployed 20+ websites for our clients. Most of them are book publishing websites
Connector ideas have been proposed to Ektron (Widget based and DXH connector based). This will be discussed later in presentation.
pimsleurapproach.com: Have optimized this website to handle 90,000 users per minute. We had 4 production servers and a very optimized C# code with advanced caching to achieve this.
We have used Esync on most deployments. Used Esync over load balanced environment. Team is working on a concept for getting an undo option, which is not there currently in Esync.
B1: Includes 5 certified Ektron developer and 1 certified Ektron Administrator.
B2: Performed well in Partner accreditation tests.
B3: Our exclusive experience in Ektron alone.
Few definitions from the word cloud:
Taxonomy
Large amounts of content can be an organizational nightmare, and it takes a far-reaching categorization model to allow content to be efficiently repurposed, searched for, and organized on a site. Ektron’s taxonomy, a one-to-many relationship model, follows natural and organic methods all the way down to the content level, enabling an intuitive organization scheme that reflects how people think.
Esync
Automate the secure provisioning of web content, code, assets and templates from development through production. Deploy only the necessary changes, from a single content update to an entire site, speeding time to Web and eliminating site downtime.
Geomapping Features with a Mobile Phone
Mobile browsing makes the geographic location of a site visitor very important information. For example, if a mobile visitor is accessing your site, you can show nearby stores and special promotions.
PageBuilder
You first create a wireframe. Next, define the dropzones; areas of the page on which a content creator drags and drops widgets. http://documentation.ektron.com/cms400/v85/webhelp/Building%20PageBuilder%20Pages/BuildingPages.htm
The explanations are in the slides to follow.
We have experience of working on all Ektron versions from 7.5 to 8.6.1We upgraded around 10 websites from 7.5 to 8.0 and 3 websites from 8.0 to 8.6.1.We upgraded websites for clients in order to using latest features of ektron versionsThe features includes3-tier Architecture: Its an enhancement given to Ektron 8.5.Now it is easy to develop 3 tier applications. We have converted existing 2-tier architecture of many websites to 3-Tier ArchitectureMobile Preview: We upgraded websites to support web applications on mobile using latest features.Mobile applications require different, more compact navigational aids, and content must fit into a smaller footprint. Mobile Web sites need "tap to call" options to take advantage of cellular technology, a robust search, flexible menus, and quick access to content. Ektron 8.6 provides all features to design a website for mobileeSync Setups: Esync is enhanced by ektron in version 8.5 and 8.6+.So we have upgraded websites for making syncing full fledged. New feature of Packages allow you to collect various items throughout the WCM system and manage them together as a single unit. This will provide a faster synchronization experience & more granular and flexible control over what is to be synchronized.http://www.ektron.com/Blogs/Tom-O-Brien/Ektron-8-6-1--Better-Sync--More-Cloud/Customized reporting: Enhancement to existing reporting feature of Ektron.Digital Experience Hub:The Ektron Digital Experience Hub (DXH) provides pre-built connectors into leading enterprise applications - to help marketers customize and personalize the site visitor's experience.

In depth knowledge of Ektron API’s. Most of the projects we’ve delivered used Ektron APIs in depth. The quality custom widgets we build proves that!
