GSI Commerce Receives ‘Core Competency, Best-of-Breed’ Marks in eCommerce Platform Technology and Fulfillment Services From Independent Research Firm
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Nov. 21, 2008 – GSI Commerce Inc. (Nasdaq: GSIC), a leading provider of e-commerce and multichannel solutions, today announced the company has received core competency/best-of-breed ratings in the key areas of e-commerce platform technology and fulfillment services in a recent evaluation of full-service e-commerce solutions conducted by Forrester Research. Forrester Research evaluated GSI’s capabilities in an October 2008 report titled, Market Overview: Full-Service e-Commerce Solutions.
GSI received core competency/best of breed ratings in the key areas of e-commerce platform technology and fulfillment services. The company showed strong competency in the categories of merchandising and site administration tools, merchandising services, online marketing services, customer service management and order management.
“We are very pleased with the results of the Forrester Market Overview,” said Michael G. Rubin, chairman and CEO of GSI. “Our ability to receive strong competency ratings is driven by our on-going pursuit to deliver unparalleled client success and satisfaction and moves GSI closer to becoming the worldwide leader in e-commerce and multi-channel services for great consumer brands.”
Forrester stated, “e-commerce is hard. Retailers must execute many functional areas well in order to drive profitable sales with great service. The risks associated with operating this channel in an ineffective way go beyond lost sales. Delivering poor experiences to consumers can damage a brand and erode the core value and equity a company many have developed over many years.”
