CMP Technology Announces Major Redesign of Embedded.com to Provide Enhanced Search, More Content and Robust Feedback Systems to Users

CMP Technology announces the relaunch of http://www.embedded.com/, the official Web site of Embedded Systems Design magazine and the Embedded Systems Conferences. Embedded.com is the most visited site on the Web for technical information and news regarding embedded design. The redesign strengthens the site's global position as the authoritative voice to embedded designers and technical managers responsible for defining systems, selecting critical hardware and software components, building systems, and integrating hardware and firmware designs.

"When redesigning Embedded.com, we focused on creating a site where content and the user experience were paramount. Our goal was to make the site intuitive and move the core content, our design articles and columns, front and center," said Richard Nass, Editorial Director for CMP's Embedded Franchise. "We redesigned our search function to show results across content types, incorporated a feedback mechanism to allow peer evaluation of articles, and greatly increased the opportunities for e-learning on the site. Add in the soon-to-be launched software upload/download capabilities and we are confident that we are creating the pre-eminent embedded community online."

The redesign of Embedded.com is part of CMP Technology Electronics Group's larger goal of creating smart, user friendly online communities for engineers. Features, such as the ability to simultaneously search across a variety of design content including Webinars, online development kits, design articles, e-learning courses, and product reviews allow users unfettered access to the information they need. The home page's toggle features allow users to rotate effortlessly between design articles, product reviews, and e-learning courses without ever leaving the landing page. The new site enables the Embedded Franchise to have one centralized repository for its print, Web, and Embedded Systems Conference design content packaged exclusively with the embedded engineer in mind.
