Emakina Becomes Progress Elite Partner
Projects in six markets and shared innovation commmitment lead to Emakina’s high-expertise certification
Tuesday, February 7, 2017 — Emakina Group moves to the highest expertise level of the Progress partner program. After announcing its strategic alliance in April 2016, the digital agency is now upgraded to Elite Partner of the leading CMS and marketing analytics platform, Progress® Sitefinity™. Admission to the Progress Elite Partner Program testifies to Emakina’s top rank team offering outstanding Progress Sitefinity expertise.
Booming partnership
Over the last nine months, Emakina’s collaboration with Progress Sitefinity boomed. After announcing the partnership in April, the digital agency group executed a series of successful high-end projects for clients in banking, business services and consumer goods, while further developing ongoing developments in finance, aviation and the defense industry.
In the same period, Emakina’s dedicated Sitefinity team tripled in size, with no less than three new certified business consultants and ten certified developers on staff. As a result, the Brussels-based competence unit was able to execute projects involving Emakina agencies in five markets, with a sixth country agency starting its first project in January.
Motivated partners, happy clients
The Emakina-Progress partnership is based on a strong client-oriented synergy. Emakina benefits from the resources and efficient support of the Progress Partner Management team, while Progress welcomes Emakina’s commercial efforts, efficient delivery and full-service support. This has resulted in several new international clients with demanding projects, requiring multiple competencies.
Emakina received the Elite Partner certification thanks to its broad expertise in third party systems integration, cloud technologies, E-commerce, enterprise content management, graphic design, Intranet development, line of business applications, mobile and mobile friendly websites, multimedia personalization, SEO & marketing.
Brice Le Blévennec, CEO of Emakina Group: ‘Web Content Management is an important part of building user expectation, user experience and engagement.
