NASHUA, NH September 17, 2009 – Ektron Inc., a technology and market leader in Web content management software, today announced record sales for August and the continuing successful growth of its international operations.
Building on its double-digit growth throughout the first half of 2009, Ektron’s global sales bookings increased ninety-six percent in August as compared with the same month in 2008.
