Documentary Educational Resources Chooses Blue Robin to Power Their High Traffic Web Site

    WALTHAM, MA, October 16, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Blue Robin, Inc. announced today that Documentary Educational Resources (DER), a not-for-profit organization founded for the purpose of producing and distributing cross-cultural documentary film for educational use, has chosen Blue Robin to power their high traffic web site.

DER's mission is to cultivate community engagement with the peoples and cultures of the world in which we live through media that is both entertaining and educational. DER addresses the need for tolerance and understanding of people who are different than ourselves. This need is universal and more evident in today's global political, social and cultural climate than ever before. Underlying the diversity of the films DER produces and distributes is the conviction that documentary and ethnographic films can broaden and alter preconceptions of marginalized and underrepresented peoples and cultures within the United States' population and abroad. DER's programs reach millions of individuals throughout the world, each year, through broadcast, film festivals and classrooms.

"Documentary Educational Resources web site plays an important role in helping us realizing our mission. With over 3000 unique visitors per day, we and our constituencies heavily rely on our web site. We make extensive use of the Web to inform all targeted communities about our services and to provide curriculum support material to enrich the understanding and use of our films. We need the most dependable web hosting infrastructure for our web site. Blue Robin has demonstrated to us that they are at the forefront of hosting technology, aligning our eBusiness infrastructure needs with IT to help us establish the most reliable cyber presence," states Cynthia Close Executive Director at DER.

"The demand for hosted services continues to increase exponentially, and successful hosting providers need to go beyond traditional hosting services and must differentiate from the myriad of commodity options and compete beyond just cost. They must develop and offer innovative value-added services that will help their clients improve and deepen customer relationships using the web. We are delighted and honored to be able to power such a highly popular web site with our most reliable hosting infrastructure," states Jonathan Kingsbury the director of professional services at Blue Robin.
