multiple-media.com celebrates its 10th birthday and shifts into high gear

New site, new logo, new - and major - version of MMCM (our Web content manager), scheduled for June 2007: as it reaches its 10th anniversary, multiple-media.com is in full swing!

Remember: 1997 was the very beginning of the commercial Web - in fact, historians consider it as the first year of the Internet's modern era. When multiple-media.com was created, there were only a few hundreds of thousands of sites.

Ten years later, we have just passed the threshold of 100 million Web sites! In that decade, there was the Asian crisis, which impacted the stockmarkets of the whole world, the downfall of the dotcoms, and 9/11, which was followed by the war on Iraq. Quite "interesting times", to say the least - especially in the universe of optical fibre, where time is hugely accelerated! During the fever of stock market speculation on the dotcoms, thousands of companies were born and died. Today, those that have survived are not only more solid and sound, but they have learned that life is synonymous with movement, change, and fast adaptation. So even if it is only "10 years old", multiple-media.com is fully mature and ready to to take on new challenges!

New Website
The new multiple-media.com site has been completely rebuilt so it will better reflect our reality, your reality, that of companies who listen to their customers that surf the Web, anywhere, for anything, at any time. More than ever, multiple-media.com reinforces its positioning as an expert at balancing technologies and communications, ensuring the ongoing success of its Web marketing campaigns and its Internet applications.

New logo
The time is right for multiple-media.com to officially launch its new logo, which we have already started to use, here and there, over the last few months. Simple, effective, and fused with classical undertones, it stands for the "m" of multiple-media, and also brings to mind the ubiquitous @, so dear to the dotcoms. If you look closely, you may also see the shape of an elephant, out totem animal...

New version of MMCM: 6 - a major update
The leap from 5.3 to 6 indicates that with this latest version, MMCM achieves new status, as additional functionalities reinforce its position as the best CMS in its category. Below are some of the features that have been added to the latest version of multiple-media's Content Management Solution, which will be launched in June.

• Easy management of identical content over several sites
  This is the ideal feature for companies that have several corporate sites, several products, and as many different domain names. With MMCM 6, they can manage all common content in a single operation, from a single interface, and automatically deploy it onto several different sites. This means less work, and less risk for errors!
  
  
• Identical content with different visuals
  Using what is called "skins logic", identical content can take on different graphical aspects from one page to another, or from one site to another.
  
  
• Better search engine visibility
  With MMCM, you can give each page an HTML name based on key words that are in the same language as the page is written in.
  
  
• Increased safety, better control
  Passwords that are deactivated after a given period of time, sophisticated monitoring and traceability of all maintenance and update activities: MMCM tightens up security measures, so it can exceed even the expectations of the most demanding corporations, for the benefit of all. 

MMCM 6 will be launched in june 2007 - 5 months ahead of schedule!
