Digital Media Network Banks on Zend Technologies Solutions to Deliver Creative Business Solutions; Top Ranked Internet Firm Chooses PHP Over Java and Perl.

CUPERTINO, Calif. -- Committed to delivering highly creative business solutions to its customer base quickly, Digital Media Network, Inc. chose Zend Technologies to provide the development and deployment solutions necessary to build applications that fully complement its customers' goals and objectives. Zend Technologies, Inc. is the PHP company and creator of products and services supporting the development, deployment and management of PHP-based applications. Digital Media Network, Inc. (DMNI) is a dynamic consulting and software development firm and has been ranked the number one internet firm by the South Florida Business Journal for the past four years.

"DMNI focuses solely on developing internet-based applications, and PHP gives us the powerful development environment we need to quickly create solutions that are easily scalable," said Thomas Bernthaler, Chief Technology Officer for DMNI. "With PHP and Zend solutions, we develop solutions faster, test them faster and deliver them to our customers at a lower cost -- which means our customers recognize both a cost savings and improved turnaround time on projects."

DMNI is using PHP 5 along with Zend Technologies' Zend Platform and Zend Encoder. PHP 5 allows the company to develop and deploy applications quickly, as well as scale those applications to meet the constant demand for new features from its customers. Zend Encoder enables DMNI to protect their intellectual property by encrypting their code for installation on other systems, while Zend Platform offers a sophisticated level of error reporting and debugging, as well as streamlined performance and centralized management. DMNI chose PHP 5 over Java and Perl for its superior support for rapid application development, scalability and at the same time, its cost effectiveness.

"Using Zend solutions allowed us to reduce our overhead on initial development phases, while also allowing us to complete testing phases in record time," said Bernthaler. "Reducing development time, coupled with the application performance improvements drives our development costs lower and makes for happy customers."
