The High Companies Selects CommonSpot to Power Website

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PaperThin, Inc., a leading Web content management software vendor, today announced that the High^® companies has selected the CommonSpot Web content management system to power the multiple websites of High Industries, Inc. and High Real Estate Group LLC. The High companies will use CommonSpot to enhance its online presence.

“CommonSpot’s Office-like ease of use meant that we could easily extend ownership of Web content to the business units by empowering them to play an active role in content management.”

“In 2006, we took a close look at our websites and determined that we needed a greater online presence to help us enhance our site visitors’ experiences. We hired a consulting firm and early on determined that the CommonSpot Web content management system would help us achieve our long-term business objectives,” said Andy Martin, network administrator for the High companies. “CommonSpot’s Office-like ease of use meant that we could easily extend ownership of Web content to the business units by empowering them to play an active role in content management.”

“CommonSpot is an excellent fit for diverse organizations such as the High companies,” said Bob Cellucci, PaperThin’s senior vice president of sales and marketing. “Unlike most Web content management systems, CommonSpot evenly distributes website responsibilities by empowering business users to manage an entire website, a departmental subsite, or simply a page without IT involvement. Organizations can accomplish much more given increased productivity.”

CommonSpot’s most recent release—Version 5.0—features a new and intuitive authoring interface, RSS feeds, Blogs, Wikis, and XML publishing and rendering capabilities. The ease-of-use inherent in CommonSpot 5.0 empowers business users to be self-sufficient and productive, build interactive communities, and achieve faster time-to-market; while its flexibility empowers IT and site administrators to easily adapt the system to meet their complex and ever-changing needs. These enhancements enable organizations to achieve better business results.
