COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwire - July 31, 2007) - TechColumbus has selected the Tendenci
association management software suite (www.tendenci.com) to power its new
Web site, www.techcolumbus.org. Tendenci, which provides a wide array of
do-it-yourself Web development functionality, enables the TechColumbus
staff to easily create and maintain its own dynamic Web presence.
TechColumbus accelerates the growth of Central Ohio's tech economy by
connecting people and enterprises with valuable resources and assistance.
Its new, robust Web site integrates user-friendly features, such as event
promotion, registration and management, the ability to post jobs and
resumes, and e-newsletter creation and distribution. Together, these
capabilities make it possible for TechColumbus to enhance the online
experience and to facilitate connections and communications with members
and others in the region's tech-based economy.
"As a regional advocate for technology, it is essential that we have a
powerful, innovative Web presence to engage and communicate with the tech
community," said Tim Haynes, vice president of member services and
marketing with TechColumbus. "We were attracted to Tendenci's
do-it-yourself capabilities. It is an easy-to-use toolkit that allows us to
build our own Web site, create pages and edit site navigation while also
gaining access to leading edge Web marketing capabilities."
Tendenci has a built-in Content Management System that allows multiple site
administrators to easily add and edit content without the inconvenience of
going through a Web site administrator. The site's online calendar will
play a critical role in promoting more than 100 events hosted each year by
TechColumbus. Online surveys poll visitors and report market opinions
real-time.
TechColumbus is the fourth regional technology center across the country to
select Tendenci to power its Web site. The Houston Technology Center
(www.houstontech.org) has used Tendenci since 2004, the Louisiana
Technology Council (www.ltc-la.org) implemented Tendenci last year and the
Hampton Roads Technology Center (www.hrtc.org) in Virginia recently
launched their Tendenci site.
Tendenci was created by Schipul - The Web Marketing Company
(www.schipul.com), a leading worldwide provider of Web-based solutions for
membership organizations. The Web-based system automates and simplifies
many of the functions of association management.
