Jack Fleischmann, General Manager of BNN, stated “BNN.ca is a popular financial media site, but we were having real trouble maintaining it.  Our old platform was unreliable and continuously broke down.  Edentity suggested that their Agility platform would allow us to rapidly update our content and we are absolutely delighted we switched.  They rebuilt our website from scratch, trained our people, and delivered everything we asked for on a very tight schedule.”  The previous BNN platform was not flexible enough to meet the rapidly changing needs of the site and the users that manage it.  With Agility, the BNN team is able to consistently update content on the site with much less effort.

Andre Gaulin, Director of Agility Solutions was quoted as saying “We were very happy with how things turned out.  We knew that the site had to perform well despite their sophisticated content requirements.  BNN is a highly visited site for professionals and investors so we knew we had to deliver a premium solution. The Agility platform allowed us to do just that.”

Fleischmann added that “Edentity set the bar high in terms of its expertise and standards for performance.  They’ve got a great team and we’ll continue to work with them on new projects as we grow our business.  Their team followed a detailed process to get the work done and executed on time (in fact, ahead of time).  The site roll-out went according to plan and the little glitches that occurred were dealt with promptly.  In our opinion, Edentity provides excellent service and great value for money.”

As a whole, the creation and implementation of the BNN site was done both quickly and efficiently.  The large amounts of content were integrated and handled with ease, and we are pleased with what the site offers to its readers.  For more information on the site and its offerings, please visit www.bnn.ca.

Launched on February 14, the Doritos® Viralocity contest was a nation-wide initiative that asked Canadians to name the newest Doritos® unidentified flavour, create a 60 second online video about what that flavour inspired in them and make it go viral.  Users submitted their entries to the site which were, in turn, posted to the contest website and the Doritos® Canada YouTube channel.  An entry’s Doritos ‘Viralocity’ score was measured by an algorithm that calculated how viral a video had become by pulling and compiling data from internal and external sources like Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Digg, and AddThis.  The entrant with the highest Doritos® Viralocity score was eligible to win $100,000 cash and an additional $150,000 should they achieve Maximum Doritos® Viralocity. 

“Without the Agility system to lean on, we would not have been able to complete the Doritos® Viralocity project on time and within budget,” said Kyle Tinning, Senior Project Manager at Edentity.  “Agility also made the process of posting videos to YouTube and moderating submissions and comments very easy.”

The response to the contest was overwhelming, with over 1,100 entries submitted, over 7,000,000 video views, a YouTube following of over 3,500 subscribers, over 66,000 Facebook fans and the number 1 spot on the Ad Age Viral Video Chart for 2 weeks.  Kyle Tinning, Senior Project Manager at Edentity adds, “The Doritos Viralocity contest was one of the most innovative digital marketing initiatives ever.  We were very excited about the project from the moment it was described to us by BBDO/Proximity on behalf of their client, Frito Lay Canada.”

The grand prize of $100,000 was awarded to Jeff Chan for his video entitled “Doritos Tablet” and flavour name, “Spice 2.0”.  His video was rated and “favourited” over 6,000 times and garnered over 672,000 unique total views, with over 1,000 shares and re-tweets through the Doritos Viralocity website.

“We chose Edentity for their expertise and capabilities to execute the Doritos Viralocity project” explains Tim Welsh, Vice-President, Group Account Director, BBDO Toronto. “We were confident that their experience in handling the site’s build and complex CMS interfaces would result in a seamless and flawless execution.”

“We are extremely pleased to have attained Gold Certified Partner status in the Microsoft Partner Program. This allows us to clearly promote our expertise and relationship with Microsoft to our customers,” said Jonathan Voigt, CTO.   “The benefits provided through our Gold Certified Partner status will allow us to continue to enhance the offerings that we provide for customers.”

“Customers are looking for partner companies that can bridge the gap between their business demands and technology capabilities,” said Allison Watson, corporate vice president of the Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. “They need to trust in a company that can act as an expert adviser for their long-term strategic technology plans. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners, which have certified expertise and direct training and support from Microsoft, can build a positive customer experience with our technologies. Today, Microsoft recognizes Edentity Web Systems as a new Gold Certified Partner for demonstrating its expertise in providing customer satisfaction using Microsoft products and technology.”

As one of the requirements for attaining Gold Certified Partner status, Edentity had to declare a Microsoft Competency. Microsoft Competencies are designed to help differentiate a partner’s capabilities with specific Microsoft technologies to customers looking for a particular type of solution. Each Competency has a unique set of requirements and benefits, formulated to accurately represent the specific skills and services that partners bring to the technology industry. Within select Competencies, there are Specializations that focus on specific solution areas that recognize deeper expertise within that Competency. Serving as a specialized path to earning those Competencies, Specializations give direct access to the tools and resources that support that specific area of focus.

Partners that attain the Mobility Solutions Competency have proven expertise in developing and deploying Windows Mobile-based solutions and applications using Microsoft products including Windows Mobile software for Pocket PC and Smartphone.

 “Achieving the Gold status in the Microsoft Mobility Competency is a commendable accomplishment and represents the highest certification level in the Microsoft partner program,” said Stephanie Ferguson, general manager of the Mobile Communications Business at Microsoft Corp.  “Partners at this level have received certified Windows Mobile training, certified their mobile application and provided customer references to demonstrate both their mobility expertise and their ability to deliver an outstanding solution to customers.”

The program offers a single, integrated partnering framework that recognizes partner expertise, rewards the total impact that partners have in the technology marketplace, and delivers more value to help partners’ businesses be successful.

TORONTO- April 2010- Edentity Web Systems recently announced the launch of yet another Agility CMS Managed Site for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.  The new site offers visitors with an inside look into the background of the Orchestra, with the integration of data from the Orchestra Planning and Administration System as well as connecting to the online ticketing system.

The TSO started with a content rich site that worked perfectly with Agility, making for a smooth transition in under one month’s time.  One of the many features of the site is a data model linking artists, pieces, composers, instruments, performances and much more together.  Understanding the linkage between all of these elements took a great deal of detailed work, but exemplifies the user-friendliness of the Agility system.

Edentity worked closely with TSO staff to implement the site on Agility CMS in time for the new season.  As an added feature to the TSO site, a theme-ing module was set in allowing for the swap out of key design elements specific to each season launch.  This will make each new performance season easily distinguishable from the next. 

Edentity also made a donation to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra as part of their partnership.  In working together, TSO has established “a strong relationship with Edentity and implemented the building blocks of an online space poised for sustainable and progressive future growth,” Edentity was pleased to work with the Orchestra and are pleased with the overall outcome of the site.                                                                              

About the TSO

Founded in 1922, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra is one of Canada’s major cultural institutions. Under the leadership of Music Director Peter Oundjian, the TSO is committed to innovative programming and showcases a roster of distinguished guest artists and conductors. In addition to providing over 100 concert performances, the TSO serves the community with one of the largest educational programmes in Canada, connecting students throughout Ontario with curriculum-based outreach.

TORONTO, ON- Lowe Roche and Edentity recently launched a new e-commerce module for Audi Canada’s new R8 Campaign.  The campaign, entitled “Own your own R8”, allows users to purchase a replica 1:1 scale banner of the R8 to cover their garage door.

Edentity completed the back end development of the site, which was based on the creative ideas of Lowe Roche.  Jon Voigt from Edentity was quoted as saying “We were very excited when Lowe Roche contacted us to help with one of the world’s greatest car brands.  We love the campaign and working with Lowe Roche was a pleasure.”

The new campaign offers users the option to purchase the banner online, and select which size will fit their garage measurements.  The site gives those people who are looking for the appeal of having the Audi R8, the option to have a replica without the large price tag.  The ecommerce portion of the site is the first for Audi in this context, and makes for a great marketing tool for publicizing the R8 Model. 

With numerous videos and photos emphasizing the luxurious appeal of the car, Audi fans can definitely appreciate the entire site, and find out any information regarding the specifications of the vehicle.  It gives customers a personalized approach to building a car for themselves, and the interactive nature of the site is very user friendly.

Trisha Quennville of Lowe Roche stated “Edentity was able to deliver high quality back-end code for the campaign under a very tight timeline.  We are very pleased with the results.”  It was a successful working partnership for both Edentity and Lowe Roche, with the Audi clients adding a new, fresh module to their site.

The “Own a R8” campaign can be found at:  http://www.audi.ca/ca/brand/en/models/r8_52/own_a_r8.html

About Lowe Roche

Innovate or die. It’s been our mantra since day one. In an industry being crushed by a lack of innovative thinking, anything less is just that – less. Lame strategies, mundane media planning, and over-researched, over-thought thinking leads to nothing more than boring work and even worse business results for clients. Our clients demand nothing but the best from us. They know that today’s consumers are ten times harder to reach than they were ten years ago or even ten months ago. That’s why it takes nothing less than innovative, original thinking that is always one step ahead of the competition. We feel it’s our duty to provide this kind of thinking and even more importantly, the spectacular results that our clients’ brands deserve.

Aspects of this specific update include the ability to customize user generated content, such as adding comments or video, with moderation.  This allows users to track which comments or videos are being added to their sites, and ensure that spam and unfiltered material does not get through.  Minor updates include picture resizing, re-publishing from an unpublished list, and the option to copy fields across multiple languages.

The user generated content enhancements allow for automatic conversion of video to Flash, and automatic uploading of videos to YouTube.  The same functionality applies to photos for Flickr, a commonly used site for sharing photos.  Both of these updates will make it easier for users to share content and media from the website, to help foster a sense of community and to increase repeat traffic to the site.

Social Networking aspects were also improved.  Enhancements such as streamlined publishing to mobile sites, Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and YouTube channels will vastly improve the site’s views and following. Support for “Facebook Connect” has been improved so that users are able to log in to a site with their Facebook credentials and tie their profile to the site.

Michael Assad, CEO of Edentity, says, “Our agency clients continue to request features related to user generated content and multi-platform publish and our latest release delivers.  We are already building sites for prominent brands using this technology and there are some exciting announcements coming this quarter.”

“We’re very excited with our company’s new website.  The branding and content is very effective and even more importantly, the site will help drive our ambitious business objectives for this essential channel in 2010 and beyond, ultimately being an excellent resource for our public safety clients,” Lydia Barrett, Tiburon Director of Marketing said.  “We set an aggressive timeline to develop and launch this website, and this team rose to the challenge with precision and speed.  Bravo!”

Chris Bryce, Interactive Media Specialist for BrandCulture led the development team, which was able to independently implement the site without the use of the Edentity support team.  Jon Voigt of Edentity stated that “Chris and his colleagues are preferred partners for Agility implementations.  Their deep knowledge of the CMS allows them to push the boundaries and come up with some very creative sites.”

Tiburon retained BrandCulture to create and manage their new branding strategy, and has also overseen the execution of all aspects of print, interactive, and tradeshow marketing communications assets for the company.  BrandCulture also created a new visual vocabulary for Tiburon to define the strategic value to their clients and employees, but did so without replacing the existing Tiburon logo, which had already undergone several recent refinements. 

The site highlights how Tiburon offers dispatch, mobility, records management, and corrections management technology systems.  The thoughtful information architecture allows users to easily navigate to areas of critical importance while learning how Tiburon offerings differ from other alternatives, including an industry-leading fully distributed system architecture offering unmatched reliability and interoperability.  The Tiburon site also features video reviews offering tremendous new insights on the real-world effectiveness of the products.  Edentity’s Agility CMS software has made the integration of the large amount of information and resources offered by Tiburon, easy to manage and implement onto the site.

Chris Bryce, Interactive Media Specialist for BrandCulture notes, “We love the flexibility of Agility to implement the design and functionality that we want without any headaches.  Our client is very pleased to be able to make content updates on their own.”  The ability to add content independently, increased the productivity of the team, and allowed for quick updates to the site when required.

“Our team was impressed at how Agility supported our sophisticated design without any changes,”  said Adam Froman, CEO of Delvinia. “The end result is an incredibly successful on line experience for opera lovers around the world.”

Partnering with Edentity for the technical and development side of the site, Delvinia and the COC used the Agility Content Management system to integrate the content, including the Flash elements.  Kyle Tinning, Project Manager for the site at Edentity, felt that “Delvinia produced a rock solid functional specification that was the foundation of the quick and issue free implementation of the Canadian Opera Company website.”

The transition to the new site was completed with the flexible nature of the Agility software.  Jennifer Dougall, Webmaster for the COC, said “Agility makes updating the website much easier. We are even able to change the Flash elements without engaging a developer.”  The flash elements of the COC site make it user friendly, providing users with a simple format for searching and finding tickets to a specific event.  The click-through menu on the Performances page allows users to learn more about the making of a Performance, in addition to the ability to watch and listen to the performance before purchasing a ticket.

Gary Fearnall, Vice President, Interactive for Cineplex Entertainment states, “Development of the mobile site was surprisingly easy thanks to the flexibility of Agility.  We were able to repurpose all of our existing content and data in a timeframe that was exceedingly short.  The best part for us is that we don’t need to do any additional production work in order to support the mobile site.”

The new mobile site is managed with the same Agility Content Management System back-end operation as the main Cineplex.com website.  Mobile functionality and search engines for websites have become increasingly popular with the mainstream nature of the IPhone, Blackberry and other smart phones.  Mr. Fearnall was enthusiastic about the ability of the mobile site, saying “We are impressed with the instant bump in traffic from mobile devices.”  The site was designed by Cineplex to work specifically on these devices, and will make it easier for movie-goers to search and find the theatre location closest to them and show times.

The process of mobilizing the Cineplex site through Agility was easily managed by the Edentity web team.  Andre Small, a developer at Edentity, was quoted as saying “We were very pleased to see how easy it was to implement the Mobile Cineplex site on the Agility platform.”

Jon Voigt, CTO of Edentity, felt the site exemplified the abilities of the Agility software.  “The Cineplex mobile site is another example of how Agility’s trademark flexibility allows management of stunning sites for any platform”.

Highlights of the update included template page changes, client side saving without the need for a reload, faster workflow actions through the synchronization process, automatic updates of API’s, and finally, the addition of a Publish Recent Changes button.  In total, 189 bugs fixes and tweaks were made as well as 31 features and enhancements.

Joel Varty, Director of Research and Development for Agility, was quoted as saying, “We've added a zoom action on the Meta Tag and Script fields on page settings.  This will open the same field in a large dialog to allow you to see more of the text at a time.  This is especially useful if you have a custom analytics script you need to add to a page and you need to see everything at once.”

The most important aspect of the release was the increased productivity that will be allowed through the faster performance of the workflow actions for the modules with heavy content.  From the content manager, working with lists, syncing content to multiple domains, to previewing complex sites, to running reports, to developing sites, the Agility system has been tweaked for much faster performance.

In addition to performance improvements, Edentity has listened to their users and created a Change Template option for each page on the site which allows you to drag and drop the modules from each page to a new template.  In addition, a “Publish Recent Changes” button has been created on Pages and Content for when users do not have a specific page selected.  This takes you from the recent changes report to the pending publish view, allowing you to see everything that needs to be published from anywhere on the website..

Getting Agility CMS 2.3 out is important for us to continue to deliver the highest quality to our customers.”

Agility, a Web content management system dedicated to simplifying and improving the work of marketers, had been looking for an opportunity to sponsor a forward-thinking organization dedicated to the same goal. AIMS proved to be the ideal candidate for the sponsorship, which is effective immediately.

Having been a member of AIMS for several years, the decision to become an annual sponsor of the association was an easy one for Edentity. “Most of our clients use our Agility software for internet marketing,” said Michael Assad, Director of Business Development at Edentity, “Because it is so user friendly, marketing departments can make updates to their website whenever they need to; without enlisting the help of their IT departments or webmasters.

“Being chosen out of all the contenders to redo the Web site was a great honor for us,” says Michael Assad, Director of Business Development at Edentity, “We know they had a lot of vendors to choose from and are glad to have come out on top as the best service provider for the Region of Peel’s needs.”

The site is hosted on Edentity’s star product, Agility CMS, which means that with little training, the Web site administrators at the Region of Peel can make the crucial changes it needs to on their own and have the changes published immediately. “This feature was extremely important for the people at the Peel Regional Police,” says Jonathan Voigt, Director of Technology at Edentity, “They need to get information out to their users in a timely manner and with as little interference from third parties as possible. The very nature of Agility CMS is to allow them to do this.”

The site is live now, and it can be viewed at http://www.peelpolice.ca/

Our business is based on online transactions; we needed a solution that would ensure those transactions went smoothly.”

“Working on the project with NeoEdge was a large undertaking for us,” says Jonathan Voigt, Director of Technology at Edentity, “Their needs are complex and we wanted to deliver them a fail-proof product that suited their compound needs. With the use of the ASP.Net technology, we were able to provide them with such a product.”

The new site features a complex database that is user-friendly for their online shopping and payment functions.

We enjoyed working with them and look forward to working with them on future projects.”

Jonathan Voigt, Director of Technology at Edentity, saw the project as a great opportunity to show off the custom software applications that they are capable of creating. “We offer our clients a standard software tool to manage their content, Agility CMS,” he commented recently, “But we still offer our clients the option of getting custom applications created. We are very proud of the work we did on the P2/KidsFutures project and we know that they are more than satisfied with what we have delivered.”

CM&L has collaborated with Edentity on several successful projects in the past, and has decided to officially recognize Edentity as a service partner. CM&L now offers Edentity’s custom software solutions as well as the Agility Content Management System to all of their new and current clients.

“Edentity’s suite of services are a great addition to our current product offering,” says Carl Michener, Client Services Manager for CM&L, “Combining their services with ours enhances our clients’ experience and makes us better able to find the right solution for them.”

CM&L has been in the marketing industry for 40 years, and is well respected not only in its home town, Toronto, Ontario, but also around the world. Edentity is honored to have them representing their company. “We’re extremely flattered that CM&L is using our products with their clients,” says Michael Assad, Director of Business Development at Edentity, “That we can say they are our partner is a great compliment to us and we are fortunate to have them aboard.”

Several of CM&L’s clients have already taken advantage of the partnership, both for Edentity’s custom software services as well as for the Agility Content Management System.

Patrick Paradisi Inc. (P2) is the creative genius behind numerous national online and print ad campaigns; forging a strategic alliance with Edentity Web Systems, website back-end gurus, was a logical step to providing their clients with best-of-breed expertise in website design and web marketing. The common vision of both companies to deliver expert service to their clients is one of the main drivers behind the partnership.

“Our cultures just mesh,” says Sean Patrick of Patrick Paradisi, “It was obvious to us that we would make a good team, and they have proven us right! Working with Edentity these past few months has been great for us and for our clients.”

“Edentity welcomes the partnership with Patrick Paradisi,” says Michael Assad, Director of Business Development at Edentity, “We appreciate what they have done for us so far, and are really looking forward to working with them for years to come.”

Patrick Paradisi and Edentity have been working together since since January 2005, and Edentity has already aided in delivering a successful web marketing campaign to one of Partrick Paradisi’s top clients. “We are thrilled to be able to showcase our expertise with some of P2’s clients,” says Jonathan Voigt, Director of Technology at Edentity, “The type of technology that P2 is looking to use aligns perfectly with what we specialize in. The deployment of our Agility Content Management System will be valuable to their clients as well.”
