Hugh Kelsey joins CMN as BIPED strategist

June 20, 2006 - Convergent Media Network (CMN) is pleased to announce that Hugh Kelsey has joined the company as BIPED^TM Strategist. In this new position, Kelsey assumes a lead role in facilitating BIPED^TM analysis for a variety of CMN clients.

BIPED^TM (Business in Process Enterprise Design) is CMN's proprietary method for business analysis and systems development. Using BIPED^TM, CMN system developers build integrated solutions tailored to each client's unique organizational needs, while achieving optimal success in implementation and cost control. Kelsey directs the BIPED^TM process to map each client's best practices and then facilitates the deployment of a CMN-hosted solution.

"I develop specific work flows and processes with the clients, and this work becomes the template for the user interface design which is deployed through our CMN technology team," says Kelsey. "It's about identifying a process and then creating a strategy for each client so we can adapt their workflow, marketing, and sales process to a custom-engineered CMN platform."

Prior to joining CMN, Kelsey was the manager of business development for an online pharmaceutical company. He led the transition from an information-only website to a full featured health portal, including managing the integration of the portal with third party information providers. Kelsey also managed a competitive product and pricing strategy, as well as the implementation of a system for aggregating orders from a central call center to multiple fulfillment partners.

"Hugh is an important addition to our CMN team," says Tim Vasko, Chief Strategy Officer at CMN. "Hugh's experience and intuitive style was incredibly insightful over the last few years while CMN worked with him on the development of a large platform using CMN technology. With his knowledge of our systems and insight into business operations, he provides special vision and leadership for our BIPED customizing process."

CMN provides systems consulting and software development to assist clients in a broad variety of market sectors. Focusing on the Internet and its impact on business, CMN develops and delivers solutions for companies and organizations that understand the need to promote their products, services and brands in an increasingly connected world.
