Last month, Green River Media delivered a 5-day Ektron Certified Development Training Course to a group of 22 experienced .NET developers at the Faculty of Information Technology in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ten of the newly certified developers have since been selected to join Green River's Mostar based Ektron Development Team. As one of only 3 Elite Ektron Partners in the EMEA region, GRM are committed to ensuring that all of our Ektron based implementations are of the highest quality and most importantly, in line with Ektron's best practices.

In addition to that, all of our developers undergo a thorough training programme which focuses on providing them with the knowledge of the vast amount of code and functionality that's offered by the Ektron platform. It's important that all of our work enhances and expands the standard functionality, and time is not wasted on re-inventing the wheels of content management...
