The Hippo platform reached major milestones in H1, with the launch of the new onDemand cloud platform and the latest version release of the platform. The Hippo platform revolutionizes the digital experience by providing businesses with the freedom, agility and actionable insights needed to innovate quickly, and allows organizations -- such as the Met Office, Provinzial, and FC Bayern Munich -- to stay ahead of their visitors’ evolving needs.
“Speed is how businesses win. How quickly can your business adapt to the needs of your customer today, and do you have the innovation speed to stay ahead of the industry changes, and technology disruptors, of the future?” says Jeroen Verberg, CEO and co-founder of Hippo. “We are seeing such a demand for the Hippo platform because of how quickly it allows businesses to master today’s digital priorities, such as multi-channel personalization and cloud computing, and how it enables businesses to quickly adapt to the needs and technologies of the future, such as machine learning and virtuous loop architecture. Hippo strives to not only provide solutions for our clients’ current needs, but to give them an agile platform that prepares businesses for success in the future, which is why most clients run on Hippo for over 8 years.”
