NET.WORKS USA Partners with Soholaunch Inc. to Offer
Web Site Creation and Management Tool [2nd
April 2003]
ATLANTA, Apr 2, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE)
-- VIA NET.WORKS USA (VIA USA), an Atlanta-based managed
Web hosting company and the local U.S. operation of
VIA NET.WORKS Inc. (VNWI) (EASE: VNWI), today announced
an agreement to market the robust Soholaunch(TM) Site
Management Tool (SMT) v. 4.5.
The easy-to-use Web site development
and content management application enables VIA USA customers
of all sizes to accomplish complex creation and editing
tasks without extensive coding or programming knowledge.
Development time for complex Web sites and applications
is literally reduced from weeks to days, or from days
to hours.
"The Soholaunch Site Management
Tool differentiates VIA USA from other hosting providers
by enabling us to better serve the development community,
specifically Linux developers who know PHP or HTML,"
notes Rich Grady, managing director of VIA USA. "The
SMT solution empowers novices and seasoned developers
alike to be more productive in constructing and managing
cutting-edge Internet solutions. The result is a win/win
for developers and their customers, by streamlining
the development, deployment and ongoing management of
their site."
"We selected VIA USA as a Premier
Channel Partner for their international reach, unique
customer service approach and commitment to meeting
the Web hosting needs of all customers," says Brad
Lightner, chief operating officer, Soholaunch Inc. "The
Soholaunch SMT is a perfect fit for VIA USA's value-added
product suite."
SMT 4.5 is a stand-alone, thin-client
application that creates and manages database-driven
sites through an intuitive, "drag-and-drop"
browser interface. The program, which supports name-based
or IP environments, is written in the PHP programming
language, utilizes a mySQL database and is compatible
with both Linux and Microsoft NT operating systems.
Once installed on a Web server and directed to a database,
the SMT is accessed and operated entirely over the Internet.
VIA USA offers the Soholaunch SMT in
two unique packages: the Soholaunch Online Business
Suite, which lets companies create and manage large
sites and robust eCommerce applications, and the Soholaunch
Personal Edition, which gives small-to-medium-sized
businesses access to the foundational elements of the
Web development process.
Users develop and maintain their Web
sites through the SMT's eight integrated business modules
- Page Editor, Shopping Cart, Secure Login System, Custom
Forms Management, MySQL Database Table Manager, eNewsletter
System, Event Calendar and Site Statistics. New features
include Multi-User Access, Web Form Builder and Photo
Album. Licensees are granted full source-code editing
rights.
