At the heart of all of mBLAST’s solutions is the powerful mBLAST Engine, which was designed from the ground up to meet the needs of even the largest Marketers and Influencers. This solid technology foundation serves as the base for all of our products, maximizing functionality and giving users of all types a common experience across product sets.

Our workflow products -- Awards, Buyer’s Guides, Directories and Media Credentialing – use mBLAST’s Workflow Engine, which contains a robust communication area, advanced form engine, flexible ecommerce options, and feature-rich reporting. Administrators of these products can learn how to set up one product type and move easily to the next with no additional learning curve.

mBLAST’s robust Content area is powered by a Content Engine that pulls in content such as articles, press releases, white papers, event listings, company information, and more from thousands of sources across the Web. The content is filtered and structured, so a press release looks like a press release and an article looks like an article. Users can further filter information by dates, particular sources, keywords, specific articles, and other criteria. With mBLAST, users can create highly customized feeds that flow directly to their websites using our open APIs.
