HAMPTON ROADS, VA--(Marketwire - August 9, 2007) - Another regional information technology
association has selected the Tendenci association management software suite
(www.tendenci.com) to power its Web site. The Hampton Roads Technology
Council (HRTC) recently launched its new, more robust and interactive site,
www.hrtc.org. Other Tendenci-driven technology centers include the Houston
Technology Center (www.houstontech.org), the Louisiana Technology Council
(www.ltc-la.org) and TechColumbus (www.techcolumbus.org).
HRTC serves as the technology nerve center for southeastern Virginia,
supporting the growth of the region's technology economy and community
through educational initiatives, tech resource connection and networking
events. HRTC's new Web site delivers numerous user-friendly features, such
as an online calendar for technology event promotion, online registration
and payment, and automated e-mails to alert members about news they care
about.
"Having a strong, vibrant Web presence is everything to us, and Tendenci
makes it easy for everyone who cares about technology in and around Hampton
Roads to communicate, participate and connect online," said Tim Early,
President of HRTC. "The simplicity of the software ensures that our site
will always be up-to-date and fresh with minimum hassle, while its
community-focused communication tools ensure that our members will stay
actively engaged with HRTC."
Tendenci's built-in Content Management System simplifies HRTC Web updates
with its flexible and user-friendly interface. Multiple site administrators
can easily add and edit content without the inconvenience of going through
a Web site administrator.
The HRTC Web site further supports the growth of southeastern Virginia's
tech economy through its robust job board and resume posting modules. By
providing a central location for qualified job applicants and available job
opportunities, the HRTC site makes it possible for members, local
technologists and area companies to connect with each other and advance the
region's tech-based economy.
