Digitaria and Sitecore Announce Strategic Partnership
Atlanta Falcons Web Site Designed by Digitaria and Powered by Sitecore
SAN DIEGO and SAN FRANCISCO – July 10, 2007 – Digitaria, a full-service digital marketing and technology firm, and Sitecore, the leading provider of .NET Web Content Management (WCM) and portal software, today announced a strategic partnership. Digitaria clients, such as the Atlanta Falcons, can now leverage Sitecore WCM to easily manage the content of their Web sites and intranets.
Digitaria leveraged Sitecore WCM to build atlantafalcons.com, the most advanced and interactive Web site in sports. Sitecore WCM enabled Digitaria to provide the Atlanta Falcons with Web 2.0 functionality such as content tagging, advanced multimedia delivery and integrated social networking features. Sitecore’s .NET framework provides Digitaria with unlimited flexibility and scalability, and provides the Atlanta Falcons with a next generation platform for many years to come.
“Throughout my career of managing enterprise-level NFL websites, I’ve utilized at least a half dozen third-party and private-label content management solutions. No system I’ve used in the past even approaches the flexibility, scalability and sheer power of our current Sitecore solution,” said Dan Levak, director of New Media, Atlanta Falcons. “Changes to our site that once required development hours and the associated cost are now accomplished in-house with a few clicks of the mouse. Sitecore can accommodate any conceivable functionality or design requirement. I encourage my colleagues across professional and amateur sports to strongly consider Sitecore for their Web properties.”
“Digitaria is committed to delivering technologies that are compatible with the preferred operating environments of our customers,” said Digitaria CEO, Daniel Khabie. “We recognize Sitecore’s expertise and total impact in the technology marketplace, and are pleased to be able to offer their solution to clients such as the Atlanta Falcons that run on the .NET environment.”
Sitecore CMS leverages design and functionality concepts from the Microsoft Office 2007 user interface, enabling content managers to manipulate Web site content with minimal user training. Sitecore CMS is built on a language-agnostic platform for application development and execution and provides customers with the highest levels of security, stability and performance. Microsoft has recognized Sitecore as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for its expertise in providing customer satisfaction with Microsoft products and technology.
“After a thorough evaluation of Digitaria, we have identified them as a company with a solid background in the .NET platform and XML experience that far exceeds the industry standard,” said Sitecore USA President, Bjarne Hansen. “As a Sitecore partner, Digitaria can extend our WCM solution to its customers – many of the biggest names in media entertainment, sports and technology.”
