WASHINGTON, Aug. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- American Technology Services, Inc. (ATS®) announced today that its client, The International Society for Heart & Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) has won multiple dotCOMM Awards for their newly redesigned website developed by ATS.

"The collaboration between ATS and ISHLT was a key to the success of this project," said Amit Viraktamath, Senior Manager of ATS's Software Development Services, "The working relationship between our two companies made it possible to deliver on time, on budget and produce an award-worthy website."

The ATS Development team used the Kentico all-in-one CMS platform as the foundation to deliver to ISHLT, a site that is easier to update than the previous site. One major goal of the project was to add single sign-on functionality so users could access their Learning Management System, Association Management System, Online Journal platform and Online Community.  The websites fresh, modern look along with its tech savvy appeal were the driving forces behind receiving these awards.

"Our old website looked old fashioned," said ISHLT Executive Director, Amanda Rowe. "ATS migrated us from an archaic HTML-heavy website to an easy to update, mobile responsive CMS that is user friendly for our staff and members."
