Leading Industry Analyst Firm Positions Venda in the Visionaries Quadrant in the July 2008 eCommerce Magic Quadrant Report
NEW YORK, July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Venda, the global leader in on-demand eCommerce solutions, today announced it has been positioned in the Visionaries quadrant in Gartner, Inc.'s Magic Quadrant for E-Commerce, authored by Gene Alvarez and published on July 18, 2008.
The Gartner report stated, "One new trend is that organizations have new ownership and operating choices. Software as a service (SaaS) is providing e-commerce capabilities to organizations that may not have had the resources or management support for an Internet sales endeavor. Moreover, organizations can choose how much e-commerce they want to own and manage."
"We are pleased to be recognized in the Visionaries quadrant, and consider Venda's positioning by Gartner additional confirmation of Venda's strength and value in the market," said Jeffrey Max, CEO of Venda, Inc. "Venda was the first company to deliver on-Demand eCommerce solutions, beginning in 2001. Our global organization continues to provide the most innovative eCommerce solutions at home and abroad, with terrific ROI and predictable cost. Further, we are consistently enhancing our platform to ensure our customers are always ahead of market demands."
Venda recently enhanced its platform offerings to further improve the shopping experience on all of Venda's customer sites. These include Imageware 5.0, a more effective rich media application for greater customer experience in viewing products; PowerReviews, the most comprehensive online customer review solution to enhance customer experience; and greater search query and dynamic navigation capabilities to improve online merchandising, conversion and revenue generation for its merchant partners.
