The newly designed NTGTS/CTC website was launched this month using a state-of-the-art content management system. This ensures the site contains the very latest information on NTGTS/CTC activities and programs.

Since the organization’s inception in 1998, NTGTS has been on the cutting edge of technology and convergence taking place in our industry. As such, the organization has periodically reviewed its website presence and upgraded it to better take advantage of the latest in technology and provide our members with better tools to keep up-to-date with our activities and other information.

"To better serve our members and constituents, we wanted to improve the accessibility for our members and ensure that they find the information they need," said Jeremy Azif, President and Co-Founder.

The site, attracting thousands of unique visitors annually, features an innovative user interface that is a model for Internet functionality. The new website, containing information on both NTGTS and CTC, includes many new features for members and other visitors. Some of the key enhanced user features include:

· Enhanced menu navigation and buttons with links to all sub-pages of the site.

· Enhanced members-only areas, which provides access to the NTGTS Newsletter, Membership Directory, and other special members-only resources.

· Easy page printing along with a PDF formatting option.

· A detailed frequently asked questions (FAQ) section covering all aspects of the organization.

· A job postings section.

· Discussion board and Blog.

· A powerful and enhanced events calendar, featuring all of the latest NTGTS/CTC programs as well as other events of interest.

· Access to several famous classic arcade games, to keep your mind and fingers sharp and fit.

· An enhanced shopping cart and secure payment gateway area, allowing you the ability to register for membership and programs, and other products/services that we have to offer.

The NTGTS website will be the strategic core of our marketing efforts, acting as a strong foundation for all other marketing communications. Alongside information about NTGTS’ services, the site will feature the latest news and announcements, along with a supporting portfolio of information and useful resources on the latest telecom and IT developments.

User Registration

To begin taking advantage of all of these user features, users must go and register for website access at: http://www.ntgts.org/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=registers. The page will prompt you for some information, along with an individually created user ID and password.

If you were already a paid NTGTS/CTC member, please note that the existing website ID and password is no longer valid. You must go and register through the new website. Once you receive the email acknowledgment, you will be accorded the enhanced member-only access privileges based on confirmation of your member status.
