Two of Percussion Software's customers have been nominated for awards at the prestigious Information Management Awards. Magic circle law firm Allen & Overy and the University of London have both shortlisted in the category of 'Content Management'. The awards, hosted by the British Computer Society (BCS) are in their eleventh year and recognise European excellence and innovation in the management of business information.

Allen & Overy implemented Percussion Software's Rhythmyx for Web Content Management (WCM) solution to extend the level of content management to manage and publish information to the company's website, allenovery.com.

The WCM solution was instrumental to the success of a number of web-based projects that Allen & Overy undertook to benefit fee-earners and drive higher revenues through more efficient work practices.

The University of London has also been using Rhythmyx to best manage its web content for its Centre for Distance Education, the University's distance learning initiative. With one of the oldest and most respected distance learning programmes in the world, the University of London aims to make its courses accessible to remote students and faculty around the world. Percussion was chosen following a competitive selection involving twenty suppliers to help the University improve its content authoring and production processes supporting the websites that provide an online resource for the needs of both students and academic users.

Percussion is a leading developer of Web Content Management software for multi-channel, customer-centric applications. Rhythmyx 6 is the newest version of Percussion's award-winning enterprise-ready WCM System. Rhythmyx 6 extends the company's leadership position in the WCM market by providing a robust platform for more easily managing customer-centric content across multiple sites, multiple channels and multiple lines of business.
