Kentico Adds New MVP to Company's Most Valuable Professionals

NASHUA, N.H., March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Kentico Software, the web content and Customer Experience Management provider, announced today a new addition to the Kentico Most Valuable Professional program, which recognizes individuals for exceptional community participation and evangelistic activities in the CMS and .NET communities.

The newest addition to the Kentico MVP program is Andy Thompson, CTO at Get Started, an Australia-based web development agency that has been creating digital experiences for some of the biggest names in Australian government, retail and the corporate sector since 1999. With smartphone penetration in Australia among the world's very highest, optimizing the mobile experience and offering a consistent customer experience across all devices is a common critical factor for the websites Get Started develops and one of the reasons why the agency chose Kentico as its CMS solution of choice.

Mr. Thompson is being honored for his exceptional ongoing contributions to the Kentico community and the passion that he consistently shows in helping customers succeed with their digital marketing needs. In addition to the blog he writes to help support Kentico users and evangelize Kentico, Andy tweets as @andythompy and is a regular speaker at the Kentico Connection conferences.

"Receiving accolades for a natural passion is just icing on the cake," said Andy Thompson, CTO, Get Started. "I have been helping customers get the most out of Kentico since it was first introduced ten years ago. I'm very proud to have been able to work with such a wonderful team and their innovative technology as it continues to take digital marketing to places it's never been."

Kentico MVPs are selected from hundreds of Kentico experts located within any of the 90 countries where Kentico is used. To receive the Kentico MVP status, individuals can submit their application at the Kentico web site. These submissions are then reviewed by a board of Kentico executives.

"Good technology will get you nowhere without good people driving it, and Andy is one of those people," said Oldrich Januska, VP Product, Kentico. "The passion he brings to each and every customer project is a marvel. No wonder Kentico and Get Started recently announced the launch of our 200^th site together."
