Empowers Enterprises to Uniquely Create Tailored Mobile Experiences via Responsive Web Design, Mobile Websites and Mobile Apps

Waltham, MA – April 29, 2013 – Telerik, an end-to-end provider of software development, lifecycle and web content management tools and solutions, today announced the release of Sitefinity 6.0, the much anticipated update to Telerik’s Web Content Management (WCM) platform. For the first time, a CMS enables enterprises to take advantage of all three mobile development strategies – Responsive Web Design, mobile websites and mobile apps. Sitefinity enables business users to deliver the right mobile experience regardless of format or device.

Morgan Stanley recently noted, “Based on the current rate of change and adoption, the mobile web will be bigger than desktop Internet use by 2015.”[1] Mobile is a disruptive force and is the future of Web Content Management. Mobile penetration is a challenge to any organization looking to deepen customer relationships, drive visibility of brand and widen the gap from that of the competition. Those without a sound mobile strategy in place will be left behind.

With the 6.0 release, Sitefinity by Telerik is the first and only WCM platform to enable enterprises to take full advantage of all three mobile development strategies—Responsive Web Design, mobile websites, and mobile apps, easily and effectively. This is unique because users now have choice and flexibility to deliver a relevant, tailored mobile experience, optimized for multiple devices, in any format they wish. Moreover, having a single platform enables a content management strategy with flexibility to shift and evolve as the business grows over time.

“Mobile has become a driving force in the market today, where more and more people are engaging with brands through mobile applications. To date, businesses have a fragmented approach to mobile application development, which is completely disconnected from the repositories where organizational data lives,” said Martin Kirov, Executive Vice President, Sitefinity, Telerik. “Unlike others, because of our broad portfolio of technologies and services, Telerik is in a unique position to help customers succeed in their mobile strategies, by delivering an all-in-one platform for mobile delivery of content integrated with Web Content Management.”

By providing a single platform to address all mobile options, enterprises can use Sitefinity to mix and match mobile approaches as much as they like. According to Gartner, “Websites, portals and mobile apps are frequently built in silos across the organization and with third-party involvement, using disconnected and disparate tools. A platform approach can assist IT managers and executives with faster time to market and an improved user experience.”[2]

As part of its comprehensive mobile offering, Sitefinity 6.0 provides unique features such as:

• Mobile App Builder - Allows users to automatically build HTML5 mobile applications based on Sitefinity dynamic modules.
• Responsive Design: Hiding Layout Elements - The ability to completely hide certain layout elements for specific devices, making the content more consumable and ‘native’ looking to the end-user.
• Connector for SharePoint - Provides full connectivity to SharePoint in three different modes: directly to SharePoint and the SharePoint data store; one time import of SharePoint data; and full two-way sync between SharePoint and Sitefinity – enabling a more efficient sharing of SharePoint assets with employees, partners and customers, via an integrated public-facing platform.
• Hybrid-Cloud Services - Enables administrators to securely expose internal business data to mobile devices by only exposing parts of internal data to the cloud, minimizing worry around VPN connections, or hosting infrastructure.
• Canonical URL Service – Offers the ability to know the exact URL of each data/content item depending on the pages on which it appears; solving issues related to search indexing, RSS feeds, workflow notifications, previewing of content and content linking.

Sitefinity 6.0 is available immediately and will be available for demo at the Gartner Portals, Content & Collaboration summit, taking place April 29-May 1 in San Diego.
