New York - RedDot Solutions Corporation, a leading developer of content management systems, announced today that it received the Best of Show Award at Internet World Chicago 2001.

RedDot Solutions offers the most intuitive CMS in the industry, built on industry standards for extensive scalability and flexibility. RedDot enables organizations to move content management responsibilities to the content owners, regardless of their technical skill, for real-time deployment of information.

The award was judged by a panel of writers and editors from Internet World Magazine, who carefully explored new products, services and technologies.The judges placed priority on a product's ability to work with existing standards and the degree to which it contributes to the development of future Internet products and services.
The judges emphasized the affordability of the Red Professional 4.0 product, while still delivering a powerful and elegant browser-based content management system (CMS). With RedDot's unique SmartEdit™ user interface, editors can create or edit the content of any site designed using Web technologies (Web sites, Intranets, Extranets, Palm platforms, Web phone sites, etc). SmartEdit is intuitive enough to require little training and no knowledge of HTML.

The administration tools for the RedDot system need no programming, offering a browser-based environment for site administrators to easily configure the system, connect to external data sources and smoothly implement enterprise content.

"This award confirms what customers like The New York Times, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Scripps Health already know. RedDot makes affordable content management possible for large and small organizations alike," says Detlef Kamps, President of RedDot Solutions Corporation. "RedDot is an enterprise-class solution delivering a high return on investment with a low impact on resources."
