Intershop, the largest independent technology vendor for omni-channel commerce solutions, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Siteworx, LLC, a leading digital experience agency, to be a strategic partner for integrating Intershop’s omni-channel commerce platform and Adobe Experience Manager. Intershop’s alliance with Siteworx further demonstrates the company’s commitment to rapid expansion of its U.S. partner ecosystem. The partnership will be showcased as Intershop and Siteworx jointly demonstrate “experience-driven commerce” at Adobe Summit, the Digital Marketing Conference, to be held March 24^th-28^th in Salt Lake City, where attendees can learn how unifying content, community and commerce can add significant value to a brand’s online presence.

Siteworx will provide strategy, design and integration services that create a powerful and immersive customer experience across in-store, mobile, and online based on the Intershop market-leading omni-channel commerce platform and Experience Manager, Adobe’s leading Web experience management solution. Selected for their unique set of skills and capabilities including mobile, responsive design, personalization and deep expertise in Adobe’s Marketing Cloud, Siteworx will recommend, create and deliver truly immersive cross-channel shopping experiences that will allow brands to increase conversions and improve brand loyalty.

“Customers’ content and commerce experiences are converging across delivery channels and companies want a solution that will move business and operational complexity to the background while delivering a dynamic omni-channel customer experience,” said David Cunningham, General Manager, Intershop. “Intershop’s mantra is ‘transforming technology into business value’ and this partnership is a big win for companies embracing personalization.”

The partnership between Intershop and Siteworx will provide significant value to the companies’ mutual customers. The combined expertise helps customers create a richer shopping experience and more personalized content across channels. The more engaging the content, the more likely shoppers are to spend, and remain loyal to a brand. At the same time, digital marketers will have less complexity to wrestle with when managing products, promotions and messaging across channels.

“We are very excited to be partnering with Intershop,” Ted Stites, VP of Strategy and Insights, Siteworx. “Their uniquely scalable and flexible platform for omni-channel commerce will allow us to create game-changing immersive shopping experiences for our mutual customers.”
