To become a DotNetNuke Partner, potential partners must prove several successful implementations of DotNetNuke products and their general expertise with software application development. Additionally, they must remain committed partners by referring clients to the DotNetNuke products when appropriate.

Amadeus Consulting has developed several content management systems for clients using DotNetNuke, and finds that the low start-up costs and rapid deployment allows clients to have a robust content management system quickly and is a huge value-add to clients.

As Amadeus Consulting is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, the DotNetNuke CMS partnership is a good fit because  it is a platform specifically designed for websites that run on Microsoft .NET, bringing added value to Amadeus Consulting's .NET software development team. The added value can be seen through on-demand support, a well-tested platform and faster, smoother implementation for clients.

"Because DotNetNuke started as an open source project eight years ago, it has grown into a fantastic platform that is well tested, widely used and continually gets even better each year. We are excited to be able to offer this content management development platform for our clients," says John Basso, CIO of Amadeus Consulting, who is responsible for identifying high quality third party tools to help his custom software application company.

DotNetNuke is the most mature, trusted, and widely adopted Web Content Management Platform for Microsoft .NET. Launched in 2002 as an open source project, DotNetNuke has been downloaded more than 6 million times, is used by over 600,000 public web sites, and has more than 800,000 registered community members. Using DotNetNuke, any organization, from startups to Fortune 500 companies to governmental agencies, can leverage their existing Microsoft investment to create rich, highly interactive web sites and web applications.
