DNN Expands Product Suite, Services and SaaS Offering With DNN Evoq

SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 9, 2013) - DNN (formerly DotNetNuke), whose award-winning web content management system (CMS) powers hundreds of thousands of websites around the world, today announced DNN Evoq, a suite of integrated applications enabling enterprises to create immersive online experiences and powerful interactive communities. DNN Evoq makes it easy for users, including those with minimal IT experience, to integrate social functionality with their existing websites.

During a time when 4 billion items are shared on Facebook and 200 million items shared on Twitter each day, it's vital for the success of a business to stand out to its customers. With DNN Evoq, enterprises can create integrated, powerful destination sites that combine immersive content with user communities. Using DNN Evoq, visitors can interact with a site optimized for their interests, ask and answer questions from other community members, provide feedback to site owners, send tips on new products features and much more. DNN Evoq features an intuitive, Web-based user interface that provides a single management console for creating and controlling an integrated, all-in-one site with broad functionality. DNN Evoq helps organizations increase sales, acquire and retain customers, drive product innovation, improve customer service and reduce overall support costs.

DNN Evoq currently includes the following applications:

• Evoq Content - A business solution that helps bring corporate websites to life. Evoq Content empowers both technical and business users to create, manage and update rich, immersive online experiences. The solution is equipped with top-notch security, e-commerce, extensibility and support features -- across Web- and mobile-based sites, seamlessly.
• Evoq Social - The only enterprise-class solution that incorporates a broad range of best-in-class social community capabilities including: true extensibility, an intuitive and consistent Management UI, and the best price/value alternative. Evoq Social gives users the ability to seamlessly integrate communities into corporate websites, instead of driving customers to a third-party social site, which enables them to monitor and shape the customer conversation. Thriving user communities can help reduce support costs, drive product innovation and increase sales and brand awareness at an affordable price point.

Now available on premise or in the cloud:

DNN is working with Microsoft Corp., a leading provider of cloud services, to make DNN Evoq available in the cloud. DNN's Cloud Solution, powered by Windows Azure, provides users with performance, scalability, redundancy and reliability of a hosted platform to support the Evoq Suite. Evoq Social and Evoq Content can now support virtually any and all frameworks via the Windows Azure platform.
