IRVINE, Calif., July 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Episerver, the company transforming digital experiences, today announced its recognition as a Visionary in Gartner's 2018 "Magic Quadrant for Personalization Engines."( [1] )Gartner analyzed Episerver among 17 other vendors. The company was placed the furthest on the completeness of vision axis overall. The report, which is the first of its kind from Gartner, states that "marketing leaders can use this research to identify and evaluate personalization solutions suited to their goals."
Episerver Personalization, a comprehensive suite of products delivered via the intelligent cloud, combines advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and behavioral analytics to provide deep customer insights and individualized recommendations for digital content, commerce, and marketing experiences. Episerver's advanced machine learning algorithms improve over time, adapting to customer behavior and intent to quickly increase conversions, engagement and average order values. Episerver credits a highly scalable cloud platform, as well as proven dedication to its customers' success, for its inclusion in the report.
"Episerver's Personalization suite mitigates the burden traditionally placed on marketers and merchandisers who simply don't have the time to build all of the engagement rules needed to deliver highly personalized customer experiences, through extensive autonomous personalization capabilities - freeing them up to focus on more strategic and creative opportunities," said James Norwood, CMO and EVP Strategy at Episerver. "We believe our commitment to help our customers to deliver intelligent mass individualization at scale, for every step of their customer's digital journey, through our unified digital experience platform reflects in our positioning as furthest on the completeness of vision axis in this report."
Earlier this year, Episerver launched Episerver Advance and Episerver Insight to round out its personalization suite. Powered by cognitive AI, Episerver Advance allows organizations to automatically sequence highly relevant and individualized content to visitors across digital channels. Episerver Insight draws on behavioral data stored in Episerver's customer data platform (CDP) to provide marketers and merchandisers with rich customer journey analysis and persistent visitor intelligence to further support the delivery of personalized experiences.
