CoreMedia Partners with Perficient to Accelerate Omni-Channel Commerce

"Perficient and CoreMedia are the perfect team," said Kevin Doyle, General Manager, IBM eCommerce Practice at Perficient. "Collectively, we possess a deep understanding of both digital transformation and IBM Smarter Commerce technologies which makes us uniquely positioned to help customers overcome the technology and business barriers than inhibit innovation and reduce time-to-market." 

As e-Commerce expands in both scope and importance, it creates new challenges for companies hoping to provide unified customer experiences that differentiate, generate revenue and improve customer loyalty. Unfortunately, many companies have entirely separate teams and systems for managing brand/marketing content and their e-Commerce systems. Success in this environment depends on the ability to seamlessly integrate siloed technologies, teams, and processes.

"Partnering with Perficient makes perfect sense for CoreMedia and our customers," said Glenn Conradt, VP of Global Marketing at CorMedia. "Few other companies can match their level of knowledge and experience when it comes to advanced e-Commerce projects."

  • Customer Engagement: Perficient's customer engagement capabilities span experience design - to web and mobile commerce - through the web and business analytics to ensure that every customer's e-commerce plan is delivering results.
