The evaluation’s framework, which debuted in 2019, is modeled after the professional sports “combine” process teams use to assess the capabilities of draft candidates across critical performance areas. Rather than calculating overall rankings for vendors, the 2020 B2B Combine (Midmarket Edition) evaluates and scores each B2B digital commerce solution in mutually exclusive categories to help ecommerce teams accurately gauge a specific solution’s viability with their company culture, commerce functionality requirements and existing technology stack.
As part of its research, Paradigm B2B sourced insights from several BigCommerce customers regarding their experience using the platform. In summarizing BigCommerce’s digital commerce capabilities, Hoar said that ”customers spoke highly of BigCommerce’s extensive partner ecosystem and rich open application marketplace, as well as the ease with which the solution can be configured by a business user.”
“B2B buyers now expect consumer-like ecommerce experiences, and BigCommerce’s highly-extensible platform, open APIs and 99.99% uptime give B2B merchants all the tools they need to exceed buyers’ expectations,” said Brent Bellm, chief executive officer at BigCommerce. “BigCommerce’s performance in the 2020 Paradigm B2B Midmarket Combine is a tremendous win for the company, and it validates our partner-led approach toward helping B2B and hybrid B2B merchants create differentiated commerce experiences.”
