Developer Team Builds Community-Based Website For Spina Bifida Association of North Texas In Less Than 72 Hours

DALLAS, Texas, January 23, 2008 – Telligent, a Dallas-based company with a recognized history of helping organizations apply the value of online communities to their business, participated in the first annual “We Are Microsoft Charity Challenge” this past weekend, an event that paired teams of developers with non-profit organizations to develop software solutions for those charities at no cost.

The Spina Bifida Association of North Texas elected Community Server™ and Graffiti CMS™ as the platform to rebuild its existing site. SBANT desired a content management system that facilitated easy communication with the Spina Bifida community while at the same time, enabling the community members to relate to and share experiences with one another.

• The team at Spina Bifida Association of North Texas (SBANT) wanted to support a number of features such as groups, blogs, forums, site search, photo/movie galleries, etc.
• The goal of the SBANT was three-fold: (1) to realign its marketing efforts with the national association, (2) to communicate better with its constituents, and (3) to easily disseminate info while building its online community.
• The Telligent team built three sites (an English site, a Spanish site, and an online community site).
• Over 20% of the Telligent Dallas staff participated in the “We Are Microsoft” Charity Challenge.
• The Telligent team worked around the clock and completed a month’s worth of work in just two days.

“We are very excited about our work with Spina Bifidia and look forward to continuing our relationship with them in the future.” Rob Howard, CEO, Telligent.

“This was a huge initiative for us. The new Spina Bifida site not only enables us to communicate with our constituents online, but our ability to now support our large Spanish-speaking community is a huge win for us. During the scope of the project, the Telligent team was very approachable, very willing to do whatever it took to get the job done, and was a pleasure to work with. I was very impressed with the team and would use them again in a heartbeat.” Jason Duncan, Web Master and Board Member, Spina Bifida Association of North Texas.
“SBANT has many support groups on Yahoo Groups that they wanted warehoused in a central location. With the new site, families can now talk and chat and get the help and support they need in one place.” Jason Alexander, “We Are Microsoft” Project Manager and Chief Technology Officer, Telligent.

“It was an honor to be a part of the “We Are Microsoft” event over the weekend. It gave me an opportunity to share my passion for community service with my co-workers . . . and also to see the same passion in them.” Jay Laesk, “We Are Microsoft” Team Member and Software Development Engineer, Telligent.
