HeBS Digital’s CMS Technology Named Finalist for Best Software Programming by the 2013 American Business Awards SM

New York, NY (May 13, 2013) – HeBS Digital is excited to announce that the HeBS Digital CMS Premium has been named a finalist in the Best Software Programming/Design category in The 2013 American Business Awards ^SM and will ultimately be a Gold, Silver or Bronze Stevie® winner in the program.

The American Business Awards are the nation's premier business awards program. More than 3,200 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories. The American Business Awards^SM will be presented at the ABA's New Product & Technology Awards Event on Monday, September 16 in San Francisco.

The explosion of the mobile and tablet channels presented a major challenge to hotel marketers: creating and managing digital content throughout three distinct distribution channels – desktop, mobile and tablet – as well as publishing the hotel's latest special offers and promotions on the hotel's various social media profiles. HeBS Digital's proprietary CMS technology – the CMS Premium – was designed to do just that and help hoteliers maximize presence and revenue from the "three screens."

The HeBS Digital CMS Premium serves as much more than a content management system. It acts as a digital marketing content solution, giving busy hoteliers a way to simply and successfully utilize their hotel website to generate bookings and boost revenues. It also serves as a centralized digital content depository, conveniently corralling all the resources on which hoteliers rely in one easy-to-access location.

The CMS Premium is the most advanced CMS in the hospitality industry today. Notable features include:

• Innovative architecture facilitating fast download speeds
• Full compliance with the Google Panda and Freshness SEO updates
• Ability to change the look-and-feel design of the hotel website with a click of a button
• Dynamic content personalization
• A suite of reservation conversion features
• Support of responsive design on the server side (RESS)

"Winning this prestigious award is a testament to HeBS Digital's ingenuity. I am immensely proud of HeBS Digital's team of programmers, developers and designers who worked together to develop the industry's leading CMS technology," said Max Starkov, President & CEO of HeBS Digital. "Our experts are well-educated in the digital needs and wants of the hospitality industry, as well as in the latest trends in responsive design at the server side (RESS) and search engines' requirements for website architecture. With the HeBS Digital CMS Premium, the hotelier has a firm grip on the reins of their site – no special content management skills or HTML knowledge required!"
