4D Partner Central - voted one of the "Ten Best Support Sites for 2001"

 

7th August 2001, Wilmslow, UK. 4D UK, publishers of the award-winning 4th Dimension (4D) database development environment and 4D WebSTAR Server Suite, today announced that their 4D Partner Central Web site was voted one of the "Ten Best Web Support Sites" by the Association of Support Professionals (ASP).

4D Partner Central (www.4DPartnerCentral.com) is a private support site for members of the 4D Solutions Partner programme. 4D Partner Central provides 4D developers with all the latest technical resources to allow them to build great database solutions in 4D.

Built with 4D's own Web development tools, 4D Partner Central was evaluated by ASP on categories such as quality of navigation, knowledgebase content, interactive features, personalisation and success at overcoming major development challenges.

ASP is an association of Windows-based technical support professionals. Established in 1995, it has grown to a membership of over 1000 support professionals worldwide. This year's panel reviewed a wide array of popular and industry-renowned sites before selecting the final ten winners. Other winners this year include: Macromedia, Dell, Hewlett Packard and Symantec.

"We are proud to have 4D Partner Central recognised by ASP as a reliable, high quality technical support resource," said Rob Wylie, 4D UK's General Manager. "When we designed 4D Partner Central, we wanted to leverage the accessibility of the Web by creating a central technical resource that would be available to 4D developers whenever they needed it - it was also important that the site be built using 4D's own web technology."

"Sites are selected based on a set of scoring criteria designed to evaluate the total technical support value it provides," said Jeffrey Tarter, Executive Director of ASP. "4D has put a lot of thought and resources into the development of 4D Partner Central and it shows in the quality of their Web support site."
