Irish software company pTools signs strategic deal with Denmark’s Umbraco

Dublin-based software company pTools has signed a deal with Danish content management software (CMS) provider Umbraco that will see the Irish company further develop its web tools.

Under the new deal, which was struck with the company’s digital design division pTools-Web, Umbraco’s content management engine will be integrated into the pTools CMS Platform, helping to drive innovation for its clients. Meanwhile, pTools CMS components will be distributed within Umbraco’s marketplace, extending their reach.

“We are delighted to partner with Umbraco and we are seeing the benefit for pTools and clients and end users already,” said Siobhán Davoren, who heads pTools-Web digital design division. “We are future-proofing our CMS with partnerships and technologies that will enhance client websites and solutions at every level.”

Both pTools and Umbraco are growing their clients in UK and US. Umbraco also has a significant market position in Europe.
