SKIEN, Norway, November 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

eZ Systems AS (http://www.ez.no), the creator of the award winning Open Source Web Content Management Platform, eZ Publish, today announced a partnership with Circdata (http://www.circdata.com). The UK based company is a leader in circulation management and event registrations for the publishing and event industry. The partnership will extend the powerful eZ Publish content management platform by adding Circdata's services and expertise in circulation management, event registrations and overall audience relationship management.

One of the toughest challenges facing media companies is how to manage content and audience information across many channels: print, websites, tablets etc. Together, eZ System's award winning multi-channel content management system and Circdata's multi-channel database system Fusion®, allow media companies to manage both content and data in a seamless system. This powerful combination will streamline their business processes, give them a single-view of their audience information and enable them to develop their audience and advertising opportunities.

James Ormiston, Managing Director of Circdata explains: "Our multi-channel single audience approach offers unique opportunities. If a customer reads a certain article on your website there is a high probability that they are interested in subscribing to a magazine, attending an event on the same theme and buying related products from your shopping cart. Connecting your eZ Publish website to Fusion® allows media companies to explore these additional audience development, advertising and sales opportunities".

"Circdata is the leading technology for holistic audience development and this partnership extends our portfolio to a full set of content providers worldwide", says Gabriele Viebach, CEO of eZ Systems.
