TIAC has decided to partner up with the leader in enterprise web CMS – German Axinom (www.axinom.com) and become AxCMS.net Solution Provider in order to be able to provide efficient, .NET based CMS systems to our customers.
TIAC has always been predominantly dedicated to development of custom software solutions, including CMS solutions. However, we also recognize that there are cases when a custom solution would be overkill in resources and a typical off-the shelf CMS solution is the best way to go. For this reason, we have decided to opt for a commercial CMS solution that satisfies our standards in terms of both functionality and technology – AxCMS.net, a product of Axinom (the long term Microsoft partner, who has been awarded with Gold and Silver Competencies in the areas »Application Platform« and »Cross Platform Solutions« for the year 2011 / 2012 ... read more ... ), and to become an AxCMS.net Solution Provider.
