San Diego, CA – December 6th, 2005 -- Leading web presence provider, Aplus.Net has released a revolutionary product offering to its customers – the TikiWiki. The TikiWiki is an advanced, open source content management system (CMS) with dozens of powerful features, many of which are not yet available in other such systems. Exciting new features include talking web pages, mobile phone access, and various unique community building applications.

The TikiWiki CMS offers great benefits beyond keeping in contact with customers and facilitating teamwork. Customer satisfaction can be improved through the TikiWiki communication channels, such as forums, polls, surveys, etc. The TikiWiki can also help businesses reduce costs by improving productivity of employees via the collaboration tools offered. Additionally, revenue can be increased utilizing the TikiWiki by upselling the existing customer base and selling advertisement space on the high traffic content pages. The unique nature of this tool and its many advanced features can also help businesses beat the competition by being the first to market with innovative products.

“We are excited to offer such a powerful and innovative tool to our customers,” comments Ivan Vachovsky, CEO and President of Aplus.Net. “Technology evolves constantly, and Aplus.Net strives to be on the frontier so that our customers have the best possible options available to them when they craft their online presence.”

The TikiWiki CMS is meant to provide customers with advanced applications and capabilities in terms of content, organization, and navigation. Highly configurable and modular, the TikiWiki and its features are administered via a web-based interface. The key component of the product is content management, particularly the fact that it allows multiple team members to create and manage content, rather than one webmaster who does not have the narrow specialization. The result is better web content. Other basic features include blogs, forums, webmail, surveys, newsletters, image gallery, calendars, banner rotation, and many others.

Additionally, the TikiWiki has a multitude of advanced features. These include the VoiceTiki, which enables an audio component to the website that generates unique “talking” web pages. The MobileTiki feature allows a user to access the site via mobile phone. User Watches allow visitors to tag certain content, and receive alerts once content has been updated.

The TikiWiki is now available to most Aplus.Net web hosting customers at no extra charge. Requirements are “SoloXR” hosting plan and above. The product may be automatically installed from the Aplus.Net Control Panel. In addition, Aplus.Net offers setup, maintenance and training services for those who need guidance through the more complex elements of the TikiWiki.
