Our solutions take the form of content management systems, online communities, contact management applications, social networks, e-commerce portals, and specialized 'niche' applications. </div><div><br></div><div>Trellon has built a reputation for delivering robust solutions on tight timeframes. We help groups align their social media strategies with their organizational goals, articulate the plan for how to achieve optimal results, and deliver cost effective, sustainable solutions on open platforms. Founded in 2004, we have deployed a whopping 200+ web sites over the past 4.5 years, ranging in size from small regional concerns to high traffic, national web presences. Our clients include non-profits, NGOs, political campaigns, socially responsible commercial concerns, and media. </div><div><br></div></div><div><div><div><div>Trellon has a strong history in the open source and social media communities. The founders were key players in the Draft Clark movement and Clark for President campaign, online efforts to elect a presidential candidate primarily leveraging the Internet for support. We developed advanced social media strategies to engage millions of grassroots supporters nationwide and still draw from these experiences in every project we deliver. Trellon has a tradition of giving back to the communities we serve, and devotes over 10% of company development time each month contributing back to the Drupal and CiviCRM platforms through patches, code releases, publications, evangelism, webinars, and direct support of new users.</div><div><br></div><div>In terms of corporate philosophy, Trellon believes in the immense value of open source software and open standards. Nothing is worse than being locked into a particular platform primarily designed to protect a business model instead of engaging in true innovation. Portable information that can be consumed by multiple devices independent of platform and flexible, extensible methods for publishing / accessing content offer better solutions for the way people use technology today. These characteristic features of open systems provide the basis for building an economy of knowledge, allowing people and systems to 'talk' in unique and meaningful ways while building value through their interactions. Our work as a company is an expression of this philosophy.</div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
