Athena Technologies, Lat34.com and NAFSA: Association of International Educators are three organizations that have improved their ability to interact with audiences due to recently
launched Web applications from Siteworx.
For Athena (www.athenati.com), a provider of technology for military and commercial unmanned vehicle applications, Siteworx built a portal with an
individualized login so customers can access training and other materials. Siteworx also deployed the Axiom content management system (CMS) so the company can publish and cross publish
information on the Web site, keep it fresh, and generally manage it better with fewer resources.
For Lat34.com (www.lat34.com), Siteworx also set up the action sports site with Axiom. With the CMS, Lat34.com can post news, pictures, videos, and
blogs from athletes involved with extreme sports such as skating, Bicycle Motocross and Freestyle Motocross. An AOL partner, Lat34.com is benefiting from Axiom because it has better
control of the large and frequently changing amount of information on the site, and because the CMS can integrate with a variety of AOL requirements.
For NAFSA: Association of International Educators (www.nafsa.org), Siteworx developed an application that helps staff, advisers, and regional
ombudspersons create records about visas and other issues related to foreign students and then track those problems until they are resolved. Using Ajax technology, Siteworx improved
NAFSA's8217;s process by inserting dependent drop-down menus that change fields based on inputs in previous fields, so incremental updates are made without reloading the entire page.
's8220;While Web technology has kept pace with constituents's8217; greater expectations for quick access to information, the bottleneck has been getting newer Web technology deployed
because the Web is often perceived as the domain of the marketing department where there are competing programs,'s8221; says Jeff Ellsworth, vice president of marketing and sales for
Siteworx. 's8220;What organizations are starting to realize is that their Web site transcends marketing and has an impact on every department, so more resources are getting steered toward
making Web sites more effective for the whole organization.'s8221;
