Within the Engagement category, Sitecore received the highest score possible for mobile presentation and search engine optimization. Furthermore, Sitecore's product strategy ranked second highest among all vendors while content authoring and e-forms received the highest possible scores. Forrester states that "A Sitecore advantage is that it specifically built its tools to be part of the same offering -- unlike [other vendors] which have had to integrate acquired technology -- so the user experience is consistent and workflows are integrated." "Marketers demand more than web content management -- they want to deliver personalized and relevant experiences to each customer at every interaction point," said Michael Seifert, CEO, Sitecore. "We were the first company to extend our core web content management technology to deliver a single, open and extensible platform that overcomes the complexity of disparate marketing systems. I believe that this recognition from Forrester validates our early momentum in recognizing the shift in delivering pure web content to delivering multichannel customer experiences."
