Renodeyn joins Ektron on the heels of significant customer growth in Europe during 2010, with over 60 companies in the Benelux region now using the Ektron platform for their web content management, marketing optimization and social software needs, including The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (http://www.theglobalfund.org/en) and Eurotunnel Group (http://www.eurotunnel.com).
Renodeyn has over 13 years of experience in information technology, with a focus on technical and sales activities, product management, presales and business development in content management solutions. Fluent in Dutch, French and English, Renodeyn will be working with Ektron customers and partners in the Benelux region and France.
"We chose Ektron because it is flexible and easy to use for content authors, fully compatible with our Search Engine Optimization (SEO) objectives, and has very powerful features, such as the taxonomy-categorization feature," said Jean Brunier, IT director at Eurotunnel Group. "Ektron is compatible with our .NET IT standards, which allows us to run our three main websites on one platform. Since we implemented Ektron, it has been very stable and fast, and upgrades have been easy. All of these features are key for us as we sell 80 percent of our travel tickets for cars on http://www.eurotunnel.com, representing around 50,000 site visits every day."
"As an Ektron Premier Partner for close to 10 years now, we have built a strong professional relationship with Ektron and their team," said Jean-Pierre Van Loo, managing partner at Uniway. "Having a local Ektron presence is very valuable to us and we are convinced it will help us take our partnership to the next level. We have implemented Ektron-based sites for renowned Belgian companies such as Mensura and PartenaHR and we plan on doing many more in the future."
"Last year was a banner year for Ektron in Europe. We're continuing to see tremendous interest and demand for our solutions," said Benjamin Schilens, managing director, Ektron Europe LTD. "Now, with the addition of Gregory, who will be manning our new Brussels office, we look toward another successful year in 2011. Gregory's long-term background with content management systems and his experience with the Ektron platform makes him a perfect match for our company."
