World-Class CMS and Expert Integrator Team to Help Commerce Clients Looking for Clarity After Platform Divestiture to HCL
CoreMedia, developer of the content management and experience orchestration platform, CoreMedia Content Cloud, announced an exciting initiative with digital consultancy and systems integrator, Zilker Technology, to provide existing IBM WebSphere Commerce customers with a package of software and services designed to increase the value and ROI of their current eCommerce infrastructure. At the core of this initiative is a free three-hour consultation called “So, what now?”, designed to help customers evaluate the best growth options for their platform.
“As long-term partners of IBM, we know customers have made a good investment with WebSphere Commerce. But we’re also aware that the recent divestiture of the platform to HCL has raised some questions,” said Jim Stirewalt, General Manager of North America for CoreMedia. “We’ve launched this partnership with Zilker to demonstrate to IBM customers that their platform provides the perfect foundation for orchestrating all their brand assets and facilitating next-generation customer experiences.”

The offering begins with a consultative three-hour workshop to help customers evaluate strategic options, both long- and short-term.

The goal is to help companies accelerate time to market by up to 99%, allowing marketers and merchandizers to roll out compelling global campaigns in hours rather than weeks and enabling developers to quickly integrate any best-of-breed platform, touchpoint, or technology.
