(PRWEB) July 20, 2006 -- e-Builder today announced another milestone in the company’s history after reaching its 10-year anniversary with the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), formed from the consolidation of the Construction Industry Manufacturers Association (CIMA) and Equipment Manufacturers Institute (EMI) on January 1, 2002. e-Builder has been providing its technology along with application development and web management services for the last 10 years, first to CIMA and then to AEM. The association points to excellent client service and support, plus highly reliable systems and uptime as the main drivers for continuing to strengthen its relationship with e-Builder.
“ The additional capabilities and enhancements we're gaining through this process are considerable. ”
Al Cervero, AEM’s Senior Vice President, said, "AEM is constantly taking steps to enhance the trade show experience for our various show visitors and exhibitors, shows that represent billions of dollars of equipment, products and services. Consolidating our trade show web properties into a single system with e-Builder is part of this process. The additional capabilities and enhancements we're gaining through this process are considerable."
Today, e-Builder provides AEM with a platform for managing its web properties including CONEXPO-CON/AGG, IFPE, ICUEE, World of Asphalt and CONEXPO Asia. “Previously we were using different vendors to host the various event sites” said Larry Buzecky, AEM’s Web Services Manager. “We needed to consolidate these and move to an enterprise-type solution to meet the growing demands on bandwidth, storage, and development.”
AEM’s growing technology platform demands are a reflection of its successful evolution and growth. e-Builder’s enterprise platform and data center provides the environment to manage AEM’s growing membership database, and provides the capacity to handle the high volume web traffic its web sites are experiencing.
