Parkview Technology Group is proud to be a DotNetNuke solution provider. We knew there was something special about DotNetNuke back in 2008 when we began to review alternatives for replacing our legacy, home grown, active server page based architecture. Into 2009, as we continued to rule out other content & application management options, DotNetNuke remained at the forefront and ended up in our final 3 list of candidates.
It was DotNetNuke's intelligent and thoughtful leadership which eventually led to our final selection. This choice was not made easily or taken lightly. But looking back, we're 100% sure we made the right decision. DotNetNuke has demonstrated intense focus and follow-through on Professional Edition, support, enhancements and upgrade paths, cloud services, partner programs, training, and module & skin development. Parkview and its customers have benefited greatly from this focus.
We're happy to see DotNetNuke Corporation receiving the recognition it has earned through Gartner's Cool Vendor selection, private equity funding, and of course the active participation of its partners and their customers. Thanks to the fine people at DotNetNuke and best of luck to all of us on our future endeavors.
