2005 Is Ektron's Best Year; Ektron Gains Market Share and Records Fourth Consecutive Year of Profitability on Strength of Web Content Management Tools.

AMHERST, N.H. -- Ektron Inc., an innovator in Web content management software, today announced the company grew by more than 33 percent in 2005, its fourth consecutive year of profitability and the most significant period of growth in its seven-year history. Led by industry adoption of its CMS400.NET, Ektron increased unit sales of its Web content management tools to new and existing customers by 87 percent and gained new high profile customers in the healthcare, education, government, nonprofit and energy markets, among others.

"2005 was a terrific year for Ektron. We believe we sold more Web content management units than any other vendor," said Bill Rogers, chief executive officer and founder, Ektron. "We're seeing, and analysts are confirming, that companies are implementing major Web site redesigns to take advantage of newer, more interactive technologies. We listened to our customers and partners going through this process and gained a thorough understanding of the issues surrounding total Web site management, particularly that it is truly separate from behemoth enterprise content management projects. As a result, our product development efforts are focused on making it as easy as possible for organizations to achieve the goals of their online initiatives."

Ektron attributes its recent success to ongoing innovation in its technology development, active participation by its partners and rapid adoption by its growing customer base. In 2005, the company expanded its partner program by 122 percent, adding interactive agencies, Web boutiques and systems integrators, including Enlighten, Euro RSCG and Macquarium Intelligent Communications, to its network of partners who offer advanced services to extend and enhance Ektron's products. Customers, such as Concord Camera Corp., NaviSite, Inc. and New Horizons Computer Learning Centers, chose Ektron CMS400.NET to power their new sites and create a more personal experience for site visitors.

An organization's Web site is one of its most important tools for creating two-way dialog with its user community. With CMS400.NET, companies can use a single application to deploy richer, more interactive Web sites to communicate better with their visitors, boost loyalty and generate more repeat visits. In 2006, Ektron will continue to add more features and functionality to CMS400.NET to ease the implementation, use and maintenance of Web sites and applications.
