  With Australia Day, The Australian Open and The Cricket Test series all  behind us, one can officially declare the Australian holiday season over. On  behalf of myself and the Elcom team, I hope you had a wonderful break and are  ready for the great things to come in 2012!&lt;br /&gt;
  2011 was an exciting year for Elcom with the opening of our New York  office, the expansion of our global partner network, a product name change from  CommunityManager.NET to elcomCMS, expansion of our product suite and features,  and the continuous increase in our client base.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;But as exciting as 2011 was, 2012 is going to be even better:&lt;p&gt;
  &lt;strong&gt;Roadmap&lt;/strong&gt; - In 2012 you  can expect our focus to be on the four main components of the Customer  Experience Management framework; Personalisation, Corporate  Social Networking, Usability and eCommerce.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Personalisation&lt;/strong&gt; – Content  delivery based on defined conditional criteria such as geographic location,  browsing history or referrer URL, as well as personalised workspaces and  storage.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Social&lt;/strong&gt; – Providing a  social networked layer throughout elcomCMS for social collaboration and  knowledge sharing in open and closed groups.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Usability&lt;/strong&gt; – Improvements  to the admin user interface, inline editing and the ability to manage the site  from smart devices.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;eCommerce&lt;/strong&gt; – Integration  with best of breed ecommerce technology.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;User Group&lt;/strong&gt; - Following on  the success of our user groups, our first user group for 2012 will be held at  the beginning of March in Sydney and shortly thereafter in Melbourne, where we  will be show casing elcomCMS 7.6. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Master Class &amp;amp; Webinars&lt;/strong&gt; - 2012 is going  to be the year where Elcom looks to solidify itself as WCMS experts. Together  with our partners and various industry experts we will be hosting a number of Master  classes and Webinars. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Expansion in North America  – &lt;/strong&gt;We will continue to increase our sales momentum and drive the Elcom  brand with our partners.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Elcom Launches in Asia - &lt;/strong&gt;Elcom officially  launches in Singapore at the Singapore Management University on 2nd  February.  For more information please  visit, &lt;a href="http://www.elcomcms.com/Campaigns/ElcomSingapore2012"&gt;http://www.elcomcms.com/Campaigns/ElcomSingapore2012&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Elcom has got off to a busy  Marketing start already, with our commitment locked in to the following  events.  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;img src="http://www.elcom.com.au/Images/UserUploadedImages/146/Elcom_7-5_Social.jpg" style="float:right;padding-left:10px;" alt="" /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well we&amp;rsquo;ve launched v7.5 on the market today and I&amp;rsquo;m so  proud to be sharing with you news of this development. In this blog post I&amp;rsquo;ve  noted a few of the new features you can expect to see in this latest version. v7.5  packed with new features to make managing content even easier but our focus was  driven by two main goals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Make  it easier for developers to build sites&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Make  it easier for end users to create and manage content &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are over 60 new features but in every one of them  you will find that we have attempted to deliver on this promise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Social – &amp;lsquo;My Page&amp;rsquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;This exciting new social layer provides intuitive and easy to use facebook  like functionality giving users the ability to publish status updates, share  information, comment and invite colleagues or members to share information. We  are planning to deliver a lot more social functionality to bring the great  benefits of &lt;em&gt;social intranet&lt;/em&gt; to the  enterprise. This is the tip of the iceberg.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Managing External  Content&lt;/strong&gt; (a.k.a YouTube integration)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;img src="http://www.elcom.com.au/Images/UserUploadedImages/146/Elcom_7-5_Youtube.jpg" style="float:right;padding-left:10px;" alt="" /&gt;&lt;p&gt; We&amp;rsquo;ve introduced the concept of indexed external content. Initially this  capability can be seen via YouTube integration however in the coming release it  will optionally extend to other external repositories such as Vimeo and  SoundCloud. This development essentially allows authors to automatically  extract and store an external objects&amp;rsquo; metadata as an indexed asset in the  elcomCMS without the need to actually store the content itself. The content can  then be integrated with the elcomCMS taxonomy engine, dynamic content widgets  and search to provide a quick and powerful way to mesh external content and  reduce the duplication and maintenance often associated with it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Campaign Monitor Integration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  If you are a marketing or campaign manager using Campaign Monitor for email  marketing then it just got a whole easier. We&amp;rsquo;ve developed an integration that  lets you automatically add subscribers to a campaign using Form Creator.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img src="http://www.elcom.com.au/Images/UserUploadedImages/146/Elcom_7-5_CampaignMonitor.jpg" style="float:right;padding-left:10px;" alt="" /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nested Masterpages&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;Master pages can be now nested allowing developers to create more  componentized master pages providing greater flexibility and significantly  reducing maintenance associated with global changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Front End Publishing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  This feature brings publishing capability to the end user who doesn&amp;rsquo;t want to  go near the backend or doesn&amp;rsquo;t have access to the backend.  This feature allows these individuals to  create content in specific locations using a new button on the admin toolbar.  This new feature provides a quick and simple lightbox interface for the quick  addition of content.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a glimpse of the exciting things to come in  the elcomCMS. As well as product developments in Mobile Web, Online Marketing,  Intranet, Extranets and Corporate web; Social is big on the horizon. Whether  your reading this as a customer, partner or interested-party, I encourage you to contact us to see a demonstration or to trial this update and consider  upgrading, our team will be glad to assist you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lastly, a big thank you to the awesome Product team at Elcom.  The product team consists of designers, developers, testers, technical writers,  sys admins and marketers who make it their business to deliver the magic that  culminates in a release. You guys are awesome!! Thank you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Having finished work on Friday evening, I raced home to get &amp;#39;dolled-up&amp;#39;. Andrew, my partner, was of course my time keeper and we set off shortly after 6pm to get into the city centre in good time. Being a &amp;#39;Swing and Bling&amp;#39; themed event, the 400+ guests each looked amazing, the ladies donned their sparkles and the men were looking sharp. Having had our pre-event drinks and listened to Liam Burrows tinkering away at the grand piano, we were all ushered to our seats at 7pm for the start of what would be a fantastic evening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ryan, John, Kevin, Pawan and their wives (all looking very lovely I might add) found Andrew and I and we sat down at our table whilst funny man and MC, Vince Sorrenti kicked off the night. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We enjoyed our entree of &amp;#39;Spinach and Ricotta Raviolli&amp;#39; while being entertained by the opening dance act, the Brent Street Dancers; followed by a welcome message by CMRI&amp;#39;s Director, Professor Roger Reddel. To add to the ambience of &amp;#39;Swing and Bling&amp;#39;, special guest performer Liam Burrows from Australia&amp;#39;s Got Talent, wowed us with his amazing &amp;#39;Big Band style&amp;#39; voice with  John Morrison&amp;#39;s Swing City Big Bang accompanying him. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The main course arrived and we &amp;#39;tucked into&amp;#39; a choice of either delicious Grilled Tasmanian Salmon or Roasted Rack of Lamb whilst the second part of the evening commenced. A scholarship was awarded and special guest speaker, Meg Martyr, shared a personal, heartfelt and enlightening story about two of her children&amp;#39;s journey through cancer. Following on from that, Auctioneer Vic Laruso, started the Celebrity Jean&amp;#39;s Art bidding and the wonderful pieces were all sold in quick succession. The silent auction was going on in the background throughout the night; and there were over 50 items that businesses had kindly donated. Unfortunately someone else in the room wanted the &amp;#39;Spanish Night Out&amp;#39; a little more than someone on our table, so they lucked out on that one. Ryan also joked about bidding for the &amp;#39;year’s supply of Kirspy Kremes&amp;#39;, which would have been great for the Elcom Social Committee, but I&amp;#39;m not sure how good it would have been for our waistlines!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;During the third and final part of the evening, the band played a few more tunes, this time accompanied by singer Jacki Cooper and we danced to a few songs (a bit of fun although we had no idea how to dance to Big Band music). A trio of Dark chocolate fondant, chocolate syrup and vanilla ice cream was served for dessert just as the Gala Raffle was being drawn - Ryan and his wife Kim had purchased one of the $100 Jeans for Genes teddy bears and were hoping that luck would swing their way to win the big family holiday to Canada. Again sadly not the case! &lt;p&gt;After more dancing, conversation and drink, the evening drew to a close and we were each on our way home.  It was an amazing night, everyone had great big smiles on their faces and to top it off the funds were going to a great cause. &lt;/p&gt;

We would highly recommend your involvement in next year’s event. For more information on &amp;#39;Jeans for Genes&amp;#39; and the amazing things that they do, visit: &lt;a target="_blank"&gt; www.jeansforgenes.org.au&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The humble &lt;a target="_blank"&gt;Web Content Management System&lt;/a&gt; (WCMS) is used for, well, managing web content. &lt;p&gt;

It’s true that some are used for Intranets, Extranets and a variety of other “nets”, but they are mainly known for what they say they do on the tin.  But, rather like one of Aunty Mabels’ cakes holding the door open; and the sock holding the family camera, does the WCMS have other hidden uses?&lt;p&gt;

A client of mine, who has been running the Elcom CMS for some time was excitedly telling me about a new ‘Idea generation and Management’ software they were about to implement. One of the Big 4 (consultants, not caravan parks) had been in and recommended it. That the business needed the system was never in doubt, in fact all business should have an equivalent of the idea box (light bulb motif should now be the twirly ones as they are more environmentally friendly) as the best ideas will come from every corner of the office.&lt;p&gt;

Several lattes later, I had a good understanding of what they wanted to do which went a little like this. I have a brilliant idea, I submit my idea via form on the intranet and three people (the innovation panel!) review my idea and agree its brilliance. It then gets posted onto the Ideas Page of the Intranet. The widget on the homepage of the Intranet posts the idea name and many of my colleagues click on it to be enlightened. On this page, logged in users (or non-logged in if you are brave enough) can comment on my idea; and this is where ideas usually get the flesh they need. There is even a little poll where people can vote “GREAT!”, “NO WAY JOSE!” or “MAYBE LATER”. The idea is automatically removed after a specified period and the innovation panel review all comments and the poll results before determining if the idea should progress to a project.&lt;p&gt;

 It’s simple, it’s effective, it’s accessible and it cost 5% of putting in a bespoke solution. &lt;p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Getting more out of your WCMS. Now that is a good idea.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Well it’s been 7 months since we opened our New York office and I thought it was about time to post a quick update on how we were doing here in North America. &lt;p&gt;
It has been busy, we’re continuing to grow and have signed on great partners across North America. We have won a huge number of contracts against a range of different providers here in North America. We’re building our reputation and credibility very quickly and we’re excited about the opportunities we have in the pipeline.
&lt;p&gt;
Here are some of the key points that partners and customers here in North America love about our &lt;a href="http://www.elcomcms.com/Products/Community-Manager/default.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Content Management System (CMS)&lt;/a&gt;, CommunityManager.NET, and have said sets us apart from other products on the market:
&lt;p&gt;
•	Modular platform &lt;br /&gt;
•	Feature rich &lt;br /&gt;
•	Easy-to-use &lt;br /&gt;
•	Front-end developers can &amp;#39;just turn it on&amp;#39; &lt;br /&gt;
•	Quick turnaround time &lt;br /&gt;
•	Configurability &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We have built a strong team here in North America, and continue to bring onboard incredible talent. We are always on the lookout for people who are wanting to make a difference in the market; If you know of anyone that would be suitable please feel free to contact me. My contacts are at the end of this post.
&lt;p&gt;
There is lots going on and nothing is slowing us down, not even the extreme weather conditions we&amp;#39;ve been experiencing! Our Partners are quickly growing their businesses through the success of offering the CommunityManager.NET, and we are able to share in this success as they win more work with our platform. Our positive experience in the North American market has reinforced Elcom’s product strategy and has indicated that North America is looking for something new and something different. 
&lt;p&gt;
We are excited about the National coverage we have gained, and the love the support and enthusiasm from our partners and clients. I look forward to keeping you updated on our success in the North American market, as well as the success of our partners and clients.

Elcom, a global leader in &lt;a href="http://www.elcom.com.au/Products/Community-Manager/Community-Manager-Summary" target="_blank"&gt;enterprise web content management&lt;/a&gt;, has joined the list of business supporters to sponsor this year&amp;rsquo;s &amp;lsquo;Jeans for Genes&amp;rsquo; Gala dinner.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&amp;lsquo;Swing and Bling&amp;rsquo; black-tie evening will be held at the Sofitel Hotel in Sydney on 9 September 2011; celebrating the finale of the 2011 Jeans for Genes Campaigns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jeans for Genes is a major national fundraiser of Children&amp;rsquo;s Medical Research Institute (CMRI). For over 50 years, CMRI has been providing key research to understand the underlying role played by genes in causing diseases. The four major areas researched are: embryonic development and birth defects, cancer, nerve cell signalling, and gene therapy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;John Anstey, Elcom&amp;rsquo;s CEO commented &amp;lsquo;CMRI perform a critical role in the prevention of genetic diseases and we are proud to be associated with them. We look forward to participating in this event, it looks like great fun and I strongly urge other businesses and professionals to show their support too.&amp;rsquo;

In fact it is feature packed and addresses many small but important functions for making front end developers and end users jobs much simpler. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Front End Publishing&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This feature lets an author quickly and simply add content without going near the backend. Simply click the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;add article&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; button, select the folder (it will default to the current location), click publish and you have a new article template ready to go. This should make it a lot less daunting for users who don’t really like to venture into the admin area. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNMDVLbCntY&amp;amp;feature=player_profilepage" target="_blank"&gt;Here is a short demo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Print to PDF&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p&gt;PDF printing is back by popular demand thanks largely to the release of 64bit tools to replace the old ones that didn’t play nice. So now you will be able to turn any webpage into a PDF with a click of button.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Publish Later&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The concept of creating content and publishing at a predetermined time has always been possible for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;new &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;content but what about existing content that required edits? Now the Elcom CMS can set a future go live date for existing content that has been edited but needs to be embargoed until a specified date and time. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Simpler Form Management&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We know that re-ordering a form was a grey hair inducing activity so we’ve added simpler ordering which makes moving a field from the top to the bottom a simple procedure. In addition to this each field has its own tag allowing you tailor your confirmation email.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h2&gt;Checked Out Articles&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Ever forgotten to check an article back in? We have, so we decided to add an alert which reminds you to check the article back in if you move away from a page that is checked out. We’ve even given admins the ability to “take ownership” of an article that has been checked out to someone else who is away or needs help with their content. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We hope this talks to some of the pain points and great new feature you’ve been asking for and there’s much more coming….including Campaign Monitor email marketing integration, YouTube integration, a new element for listing people, SEO improvements, simpler application of security settings from within folders, a login/logout tag that knows its state, editor switching and more…stay tuned. We’re very excited and reckon you will be too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://community.elcom.com.au/aggbug.aspx?PostID=575" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>anthonym</name><uri>http://community.elcom.com.au/members/anthonym.aspx</uri></author></entry><entry><title>Google Plus – Here’s what we think!</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://community.elcom.com.au/blogs/elcom/archive/2011/08/02/google-plus-here-s-what-we-think.aspx" /><id>http://community.elcom.com.au/blogs/elcom/archive/2011/08/02/google-plus-here-s-what-we-think.aspx</id><published>2011-08-02T01:43:00Z</published><updated>2011-08-02T01:43:00Z</updated><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Well it&amp;#39;s been almost a month since Google launched its
latest social networking product, Google Plus. Google describes the rapid
demand for its product as ‘insane&amp;#39;, especially after the much less successful
Google Wave and Buzz products. Registrations and invitations have since been
restricted, but fortunately, we here at Elcom are always eager to ‘play with&amp;#39;
new technology, so a few of us signed up before the restrictions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#39;s what we think of Google&amp;#39;s latest venture:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Frank Warwick, Project Manager (Elcom,
Sydney Office)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;I was a frequent user of both Twitter
and Facebook and I believe Google Plus is an intelligent merge of both.
Actually, since using Google Plus, I&amp;#39;ve stopped using Twitter and only use Facebook
occasionally.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;I&amp;#39;m no longer restricted to Twitter&amp;#39;s limited 140
character ‘tweets&amp;#39; and can now freely translate my latest ‘light-bulb moment&amp;#39;
into my posts without having to stop and think about how best to say what I
need to say in two lines. Google Plus also has the same concept of ‘followers&amp;#39;,
but what makes them a step ahead of Twitter &amp;nbsp;is allowing &amp;nbsp;you to
choose who follows you, and no more posts or tweets littered with adverts and
sales gimmicks. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;What else? I love the fact that it&amp;#39;s both push and pull
content updates. Unlike Facebook or Twitter, I don&amp;#39;t have to refresh my page to
receive live-updates. There is also a ‘circles&amp;#39; feature, so you can group who
you follow. I have a ‘circle&amp;#39; called ‘random people&amp;#39; (inventive I know, but the
name fits the bill), where I drop all my random follows (some are fascinating
and insightful individuals) in my field of interest. It&amp;#39;s a great way to
capture live information, feeds and posts relevant to me and my interests.
Information is served for me to enjoy instantly.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;At the moment, there is nothing I don&amp;#39;t like about Google
Plus. Sure there are teething problems but that&amp;#39;s the point of a new tool; I
know they are consistently developing it and I&amp;#39;m excited about what&amp;#39;s ahead! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Google Plus is best enjoyed using The Chrome browser.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Adam Lust, Product Specialist &amp;nbsp;(Elcom, Sydney Office)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;The one thing I love about Google Plus is it&amp;#39;s ‘circle&amp;#39; feature. This
allows you to really control your privacy levels depending on what group you
have. Facebook has this with groups, but it&amp;#39;s not as sophisticated and user
friendly as Google Plus&amp;#39; ‘circles feature&amp;#39;. &amp;nbsp;I can now have colleagues on my Google Plus
without fear of any professional implications. I can ‘friend&amp;#39; them and stay
professional, which is a bonus! I can post party pictures for my friends and
choose not to show them to my family members and various other groups.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;The privacy is done
well, it allows you to have complete privacy in some areas and completely
public in others - it&amp;#39;s great!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Google Plus is still a
new product, so as expected it has a few bugs. I won&amp;#39;t be replacing my Facebook
anytime soon, but will definitely be keen on what Google come up with next.
Will this be the Facebook killer? Who knows, Google might be onto a winner
here.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;
&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bryan Poggo, Project Manager (Elcom,
Sydney Office)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Well, I joined because
a friend sent me an invitation and as I&amp;#39;m a self confessed geek, I jumped at
the idea! Without repeating some of the things Frank and Adam have already
covered, I too like the security and circles features in Google Plus. I can now
be selective with who I send ‘tweets&amp;#39; or posts to. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;I also like the ‘huddles&amp;#39; feature
which is only available for iPhone and Android at present. Basically it&amp;#39;s a way
for friends to chat about a subject for example ‘catching up on the weekend&amp;#39; or
‘the rugby between South Africa and Australia&amp;#39;, without sharing the
conversation with all your Google Plus ‘friends&amp;#39; or contacts. On Facebook, you
post a status update or a wall post and all your friends and friends&amp;#39; friends
can see what you&amp;#39;re saying. Now you can ‘huddle&amp;#39; together online and have a conversation
privately or publically - you decide.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Again, there are lots of bugs and
people are still trying to find their feet with the product but I have no doubt
that it will be my integrated online social networking and communication portal
once this kicks off.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Josh Anstey, VP Partner Engagement (Elcom, New
York Office)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Google Plus is a great
blend between Facebook and Twitter, of which I am a heavy user of both (now all
3).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Google Plus has a very familiar and easy to use
interface. The security permissions around the ‘circles&amp;#39; are fantastic and
provide a lot of flexibility. It&amp;#39;s great that you can completely customize how
these work and filter your feed based on your ‘circles&amp;#39;. The ‘huddles&amp;#39; is
another great idea, and it&amp;#39;s great to see the concept of a few friends speaking
offline, now so easy to do online. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;I am looking forward to seeing the new business
features that are coming out in the next few months.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt; &amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Converting a site with over 20,000 pages in a matter of days is testament to the great benefits of using a CMS that truly embraces CSS allowing for true separation of content and design.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;For over 6 years, Austrade and Elcom have been working closely to develop and expand their government web portal. Elcom’s flagship product, CommunityManager.NET, has allowed Austrade to centrally manage the creation and publishing of their web content, their international multilingual sites and online training portals. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://community.elcom.com.au/aggbug.aspx?PostID=572" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>anthonym</name><uri>http://community.elcom.com.au/members/anthonym.aspx</uri></author></entry><entry><title>Roundedcube Becomes Elcom Partner and Expands CMS Offering for Clients</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://community.elcom.com.au/blogs/elcom/archive/2011/07/01/roundedcube-becomes-elcom-partner-and-expands-cms-offering-for-clients.aspx" /><id>http://community.elcom.com.au/blogs/elcom/archive/2011/07/01/roundedcube-becomes-elcom-partner-and-expands-cms-offering-for-clients.aspx</id><published>2011-07-01T12:01:00Z</published><updated>2011-07-01T12:01:00Z</updated><content type="html">&lt;blockquote&gt;

Held at the ‘Sydney Convention &amp;amp; Exhibition Centre’, the exhibition showcased information and communications technology  used to help drive business strategy. With over 30,000 business delegates from Australia and overseas the event was bigger than ever. The exhibition spanned across 3 huge halls with a wide range of exhibitors showing off the very latest in technology, with a big focus on cloud computing and e-Health.&lt;p&gt;

As expected Web &lt;a href="http://www.elcom.com.au/Products/Community-Manager/default.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Content Management&lt;/a&gt; was a major topic of interest; and as one of the main technology providers, Elcom was happily inundated with questions and queries. Hot topics circled around the areas of &lt;a href="http://www.elcom.com.au/Products/Community-Manager/default.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;CMS&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.elcom.com.au/Products/Intranet-Manager/default.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;intranet solution&lt;/a&gt; provision, &lt;a href="http://www.elcom.com.au/Products/document-management-best-practices" target="_blank"&gt;document management&lt;/a&gt; and the big one,&lt;a&gt; Mobile technology.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Elcom would like to thank the Australian Technology Park for partnering with us on the stand and we look forward to next year.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY:&amp;#39;Calibri&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;sans-serif&amp;#39;;FONT-SIZE:11pt;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:EN-AU;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;"&gt;The HR summit also helped to introduce Elcom and &lt;a href="http://www.elcom.com.au/" target="_blank"&gt;CommunityManager.NET&lt;/a&gt;, to a completely different market. We met many senior HR professionals and consultants, who drive these types of software implementations thorough their businesses. In addition, there were a also some promising opportunities to expand our &lt;a href="http://www.elcom.com.au/Partners/default.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;partner network&lt;/a&gt; here in Oz! All in all, these senior HR professionals and potential partners left the HR summit with a little piece of Elcom and Multibase.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://community.elcom.com.au/aggbug.aspx?PostID=568" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>chrisp</name><uri>http://community.elcom.com.au/members/chrisp.aspx</uri></author></entry><entry><title>Elcom and Multibase at HR Summit</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://community.elcom.com.au/blogs/elcom/archive/2011/04/04/elcom-and-multibase-at-hr-summit.aspx" /><id>http://community.elcom.com.au/blogs/elcom/archive/2011/04/04/elcom-and-multibase-at-hr-summit.aspx</id><published>2011-04-04T01:56:00Z</published><updated>2011-04-04T01:56:00Z</updated><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY:verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.elcom.com.au/News/www.elcom.com.au" target="_blank"&gt;Elcom&lt;/a&gt; will be exhibiting at the &lt;a href="http://sydney.hrsummit.com.au/" target="_blank"&gt;HR Summit&lt;/a&gt; with one its channel partners, &lt;a href="http://www.mbase.com.au/" target="_blank"&gt;Multibase&lt;/a&gt;.
