Provider of FirstSpirit Content Management System One of Small Subset of CMS Vendors to Meet Criteria for Inclusion in Report
DORTMUND, Germany and BOSTON, MA, October 4, 2011 – e-Spirit, a leading provider of easy-to-use Web content management systems, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc., in the Niche Players quadrant of its 2012 „Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management“ research report. e-Spirit was one of only 19 vendors that met the criteria for inclusion in the Magic Quadrant from the hundreds of commercial and open source WCM vendors and communities evaluated by Gartner.
According to Gartner, three trends have altered the Web content management market since 2011: social media, mobile computing and the inclusion of WCM in more comprehensive solutions oriented toward online channel optimization. Buyers are looking for different capabilities and are changing how they buy Web content management products.
„Customer experience management no longer revolves around building a Web presence, it“s about making the existing Web presence better, and that“s where FirstSpirit CMS fits in perfectly,“ said Robert Bredlau, COO North America, e-Spirit Inc. „In today“s climate of economic uncertainty, companies are looking for solutions that can pull all their different Web platforms and properties together and improve customer and user experience. Rip and replace strategies are a thing of the past.“
FirstSpirit, an integration platform for content, portals, e-commerce, online marketing and Web applications, gives customers a central content hub that can easily be tied into their existing Web foundations, such as IBM WebSphere, SAP NetWeaver Portal, Liferay or Microsoft SharePoint. Using FirstSpirit, companies are able to greatly simplify Web content administration and more effectively deliver a real-time flow of information to customers, employees and partners.
