Intershop Receives Top Ranking in "Current Offering" as a Leader in Major Analyst Firm's Report on B2B Commerce Suites


Intershop Communications, a leading provider of innovative omnichannel commerce solutions, today announced that the independent industry analyst firm Forrester (News - Alert) has named Intershop a "Leader" in B2B commerce suites in its report, "The Forrester Wave™: B2B Commerce Suites, Q3 2018." Saying only Intershop and two other vendors "lead the pack," Forrester gave Intershop a score of 4.0 in the "Current Offering," category, the highest ranking of the dozen companies assessed in the research.

According to Forrester, the matured B2B commerce suites space now enables next-generation digital engagement, with these suites having caught up with the complex needs of B2B business eliminating the need for heavy modification of B2C platforms to develop and run B2B commerce stores. Forrester claims customers should look for providers with: Strong flexibility related to access and permissions; detailed control over buying, selling and purchasing workflow; and B2C-like personalization and experience capabilities.

Building on 26 years of experience, Intershop's long-running and continued commitment and investment in R&D and innovation has allowed it to drive its strong solution architecture and capabilities.



Forrester states, "Intershop has a solid vision for the future of B2B buying and selling, and its ability to support that vision is even more impressive".

"We believe, this year's report is further evidence of our on-going success in innovating and meeting increasing requirements for more customers in these areas that Forrester recommends," said Dr. Jochen Wiechen, Intershop CEO. "The report indicates that Intershop's flexibility continues to be recognized by our growing customer base and partner ecosystem which values our ability to meet their specific needs rather than delivering technology that requires adaptation at the suite and individual component level."
