WordFrame Partners with Webarts for Asia-Pacific

ITBrix/ WordFrame announced last week, via PRWeb, the appointment of my company as solution providers for WordFrame – with a special emphasis on our Asia Pacific region.

I’m excited about this. In various forums and conversations and on this and other blogs I have been promoting the use of social media in business for a while. With this new partnership I can go beyond the theory and exhortation and help companies and organizations more directly with a product I know works, is value for money and will scale.

As part of the announcement of the partnership, I posted my version of a “social media release” on the Webarts company site and am including the core information here also for good measure.

Copying of the content of this post is encouraged :).

Summary:The Webarts Company Pty Ltd (Webarts) has been appointed by Colorado based ITBrix/Wordframe as their partner for China, South East Asia and Australasia. There has been a steady increase in enquiries and interest in the WordFrame platform globally, so ITBrix needed to provide a local marketing and support presence. The Webarts Company was selected because of our expertise in the enterprise social media space, coupled with our broad industry knowledge and depth of experience.
