EcoMetro.com highlights Community Server’s ability to serve as a proven social computing platform that helps enterprise organizations realize new revenue streams online.
COMMUNITY SERVER in Action
Celilo Group Media, Inc. is a green media company that provides print and online resources under the name EcoMetro. EcoMetro.com offers unbiased information on green products and services, and directory information and coupons for green businesses in specific metro regions within the United States (Seattle, Portland, the Bay Area, and Minneapolis).
In search of a social computing platform with built-in applications that could be integrated into a flexible UI, the team at EcoMetro.com desired the most cost effective and trouble-free way to get its community site up and running. EcoMetro chose the Enterprise edition of Community Server because the platform could evolve with its business over time. Other important aspects were Community Server’s flexibility, the .NET framework, support for groups, and an extensive software features list.
Before the move to the Internet, the team at EcoMetro.com published in the traditional (non-Web) arena. With the new community sites, however, EcoMetro now achieves new revenues online because of the content relevancy to its site visitors. The new EcoMetro social sites include enterprise blogs, and subsequent releases of the community will highlight additional features of the Community Server platform.
With Community Server as the platform, EcoMetro.com now watches its Web property traffic grow as it connects individuals from various metropolitan regions!
Telligent provided the Community Server 2007 Enterprise Edition license, and 500lb Marketing Solutions (a Certified Telligent Partner) performed the build-out, deployment, and customization.
“Community Server was the best .NET platform available for our organization due to its power, flexibility, and the fact that we could host it ourselves. It’s also robust enough to evolve with our business for the future. Thanks also to 500lb, which was a great agency to work with on this project.” Nik Blosser, President, Celilo Group Media
