Swiss hosting market leader Hostpoint AG (www.hostpoint.ch), founded in 2001, started its partnership with CM4all in 2004. Just six months after launch, 12,000 customers were using Hostpoint's "web-o-mat" to create and maintain a professional web presence. Today, more than 35,000 of 55,000 Hostpoint customers are using the premium CM4all web site builder and with the launch of French, Italian and English versions, Hostpoint can now expand its reach and success.

"In order for Hostpoint to remain the leader in Switzerland’s Web Hosting Industry, we need to be able to offer our customers customized and localized services that create added value using the latest technology", said Claudius Röllin, founder and CMO of Hostpoint. "Harnessing the unrivalled multi-language capabilities of CM4all’s technology allows us to broaden our portfolio and successfully expand our market reach in Switzerland and later, across Europe."

The Hostpoint "web-o-mat" includes an impressive Media Archive that allows users to store digital movies, music and photos in their web sites. Communication with their visitors is enhanced by a blogging tool and the easy-to-use WYSIWYG editors make the deployment of powerful features simple and direct. These benefits, facilitated by CM4all, enable Hostpoint to satisfy its customers’ web site creation needs by enabling a wide variety of target groups to design and maintain professional-looking web sites quickly and easily without any technical knowledge.

"Our four year partnership with Hostpoint demonstrates that including value added services in the product portfolio achieves convincing and enduring results", Robert Schovenberg, CEO of CM-AG summarizes. "We know that our customers prefer to obtain several premium quality customized services from a single provider which will support their expansions on a global scale."

Hostpoint AG plans to integrate additional CM4all products as well as feature updates and enhancements for the core web site building software in the near future.
