CASTRO VALLEY, Calif. -- Feb. 16, 2008 -- Sean Corfield today announced that he will be joining Broadchoice, Inc. headquartered in San Mateo, California as their Chief Systems Architect and Vice President of Engineering. In this new position, Corfield will oversee the evolution of Broadchoice's Digital Marketing Manager™ platform, expanding the capabilities and scaling the on-demand service to meet the ever-increasing customer base. Corfield said "Broadchoice has a really gifted team that has already created a winning service, used by companies such as Cisco.

Kilpatrick brings a wealth of experience in UI development and content management systems to the Broadchoice team. Corfield said "Kilpatrick's a friend of mine and I'm looking forward to having him on my team."

Echoing the comments of others, congratulations to you Sean, and to Broadchoice for acquiring your formidable talents.


Congratulations, and good luck! ;-)


Hi Sean, just had to stop by and say congrats and good luck! Broadchoice is in good hands.


I browsed the broadchoice website and it's freaking blazing fast. Can you talk about some of the basics of the broadchoice platform? No intellectual property details, just some basics on the server/application environment. Like is it CF 7 or 8? Windows or Linux based? 64-bit? Quad CPUs? Any server side cacheing of content or queries? Framework?

I would like to get our CMS firing like that and I'm just curious if your doing anything we should do.


@BL, the current site you're seeing is running our "1.x" platform on CFMX 7 on Windows. Our new "2.x" platform will be running on ColdFusion 8.0.1 on 64-bit Linux. I'll be blogging a lot more about our platform after cf.Objective().
