iMove has recently undergone a number of improvements, on top of a series of performance enhancements, to better certify addresses with the new postal regulations using NCOA address validation.

First, the user interface has been greatly improved for easier data browsing. The original information presented in the data grid has been filtered down to a select number of fields, while an additional dialog has been added for complete detailed information for individual records. A benefit to this new strategy is that the results of the NCOA update process are presented in an identical format, again, making it easier to browse the results. In addition, there are several other small updates, such as the standardization of the menu system.

Second, the performance has been enhanced to better handle large sets of data. The most noticeable is a huge reduction in the memory footprint. iMove allows data to be loaded and reloaded an unlimited number of times, which may include any number of NCOA update operations.

Overall, iMove has been well enriched to make NCOA compliance easier than ever before.

Recently two CSI employees, Molivouth (Moli) Boulom and Joshua (JB) Bennett, attended the Ektron Synergy conference in Florida, where Ektron released version 8 of their Content Management System.

• A newly designed, more intuitive Workarea
• Newly added social networking tools, including activity streams and micro-messaging, live Twitter feeds, and much more!
• Improved analytics and traffic tracking
• Multivariate testing – launch a website with many landing pages to determine which one works the best.

Quotes about the Ektron Synergy conference from our Attendee’s:

"The Tower of Terror was awesome, got lost halfway through splash mountain and got suckered into buying a season pass from a person who looked like Goofy. Oh and got an email address from an Ektron developer…score!" JB

"I am very much looking forward to implementing the new version 8 social network toolset." JB

"It would be beneficial to upgrade from 7 to 8 because of all the new features, especially for those interested in social networking.” Moli
