The relationship is Genex’s first with an application service provider.
“This relationship aligns us with the largest Internet consulting and development firm in Los Angeles -- one of the industry's oldest and most respected – and advances our strategic goal of working more closely with developers,” said Jim Howard, CEO, CrownPeak Technology. “Increasingly, developers are looking to hosted services to improve their offerings. Genex is itself a technology powerhouse in Internet development, so it’s especially significant for the company to recognize that the our high quality CMS solution provides both lower cost and dramatically shorter implementation cycles.”
“CrownPeak is a best-of-breed hosted CMS provider that will bring its robust content management technology to various client engagements,” said Walter Schild, CEO and founder, Genex. “Advantage CMS is a remarkably powerful and flexible platform for the full range of content and digital asset management needs. For Genex, the relationship with CrownPeak promises both increased content management functionality and rapid CMS deployment – both of which will substantially benefit our clients.”
Advantage CMS includes flexible templates and powerful developer tools, enabling Genex to customize each CMS implementation to a client’s specific needs, eliminating the need to create a custom content management system from scratch.

Its easy-to-use Web interface enables users to maintain and edit content in any format as text, images, movies or any hybrid medium. The administrative interfaces and application code are hosted on high-availability servers, where CrownPeak backs up, maintains and extends the system. As an enterprise-level content management system, Advantage CMS is highly inter-operable with other systems and applications.
