It was just last year at HostingCon 2010 that CM4all's premium site building solution was initially presented to the public, and since then it has met with great succes, being brought out in various language versions and markets by OEM partners around the globe. Based on totally overhauled CM4all technology and maintaining proven administrative APIs, the product is available for licensing and is already at work in various hardware scenarios, inlcuding everything from redundant failover solutions to highly scalable cluster solutions in the data centers of OEM partners.
CM4all Sites was initially developed as a platform solution that can be adapted and customized to each OEM partner's individual needs, and it is dedicated to serving leading telcos, MSOs, ISPs and Web-hosting companies worldwide. This new Reseller Edition will provide increased flexibility in overall product customization and it will also add room for the integration of custom content like OEM-specific ads or video tutorials.
The ability to customize pre-defined website categories and their related default content allows OEM partners to align the product with specific target groups or vertical markets. The CM4all Sites Reseller Edition will provide OEM partners with a multi-tier distribution system to create a separate GUI and product setup for each of their resellers from within one central installation.
"After launching the new platform, our focus was clearly on enhancing and extending the proven customization options that our global OEM partners have benefited from over the past ten-plus years. Our new options guarantee that all our OEM partners will benefit, whether they are operating under a single brand, leveraging multiple brands or operating a complex multi-tier distribution system via resellers or channel partners," explains Robert Schovenberg, CEO of CM-AG. "We are truly excited about the future innovations we will launch in the years to come," he adds.
The announcement of the Reseller Edition comes off the heels of an annoucement by CM4all from earlier this year introducing Simplified Templates, which can by styled with HTML and CSS according to CM-AG's Simplified Template Guide. This allows the templates to complement the built-in slection of fully customizable CSS templates. The concept enables CM-AG's OEM partners and their resellers to easily extend the template database within the product with specific templates for vertical markets or special customer groups; they can also include these templates within a managed service offering.
