Sitecore Recognized As One of the Most Important Companies in the Digital Content Industry

Named to EContent Magazine’s Top 100 Companies That Matter Most List

San Francisco, California – November 29, 2010 – Sitecore, the leading provider of .NET Web Content Management System (CMS) software, today announced for the fourth consecutive year it has been named to the EContent 100 list as one of the companies that matters most in the digital content industry.

The EContent 100 recognizes companies and products that demonstrate continued leadership in the content industry – and whose innovation foreshadows all that digital content has to offer. A global panel of judges comprises editors and specialists from the EContent Magazine team, as well as other Information Today editors.

“This year our judging team was tougher than ever before as few incumbents were kept on through mindshare and momentum alone and every company was held up to scrutiny in terms of innovation and meeting customer needs,” said Michelle Manafy, editor-in-chief, EContent Magazine. “Companies like Sitecore made this list through their hard work, customer focus and continued responsiveness to the changing digital content landscape.”

Sitecore’s CMS software and Online Marketing Suite (OMS) make it effortless to create content- rich websites that help organizations achieve business goals such as increasing sales and search engine visibility, while being straight-forward for business users to administer.  Customers, partners and developers rely on Sitecore for integration, performance, and scalability capabilities to manage multiple websites and deliver a highly personalized site visitor experience.

“Sitecore’s inclusion in the EContent 100 recognizes the value we bring to our customers – an integrated approach to Web content management and marketing automation that provides a more personalized Web experience and increases sales and brand equity," said Paul Markun, chief marketing officer, Sitecore. "The global brands that are engaging with Sitecore and creating amazing online outreach have become a growing ‘who’s hot’ elite group, with their success and ours supporting each other.”

The EContent 100 list will be published in the December 2010 issue of the magazine and available online at www.econtentmag.com.
