“if your organization is primarily focused on differentiating with business agility and a fast time to market with a platform that is very business user–friendly.”
In the report’s evaluation of BigCommerce, Jordan Jewell, research manager of IDC’s Digital Commerce program, said, “Consider BigCommerce if you are a fast-growing, experience-driven brand looking for a multitenant SaaS B2C digital commerce platform,” and “if your organization is primarily focused on differentiating with business agility and a fast time to market with a platform that is very business user–friendly.”
“IDC MarketScape’s positioning of BigCommerce as a Leader for B2C digital commerce platforms is a major achievement for the company and validation of our open SaaS approach, which combines enterprise-grade flexibility with the speed, performance and low cost of SaaS,” said Brent Bellm, chief executive officer at BigCommerce. “In the wake of the pandemic, we have seen many customer-focused B2C and B2B brands make ecommerce their top business priority. Following this year’s launch of BigCommerce’s native multi-currency functionality and our intuitive, drag-and-drop Page Builder tool, we believe BigCommerce is the best SaaS ecommerce platform in the world for established brands and complex, global businesses creating next-generation online shopping experiences.”

“Selecting the right cloud B2C digital commerce platform can be extremely hard; there isn’t a one-size-fits-all vendor, and the market is evolving extremely fast,” Jewell said. “The right B2C digital commerce software vendor must provide you with a competitive advantage in areas including business agility, customizability, experience management (content), and technology agility while also supporting sales across geographies and industries. The platform must also be architected to support substantial commerce business model changes in the years to come.”
