We believe the designation proves publicly what we at Bloomreach have known for a long time: that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomreach.com\/en\/products\/experience\">Bloomreach Experience Platform<\/a> goes above and beyond to provide exceptional commerce experiences for those who use it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>In addition to being recognized as a Leader, Bloomreach ranked highest in the current offering category,<\/strong> which includes criteria such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomreach.com\/en\/blog\/customer-data-management\">customer data management<\/a>, customer analytics, campaign design, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomreach.com\/en\/products\/engagement\/omnichannel-orchestration\">campaign orchestration<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The report identifies the most significant cross-channel campaign management providers, evaluating platforms against the aforementioned predetermined range of criteria. The recognition is yet another feather in the cap for Bloomreach as we were also recognized as a Strong Performer earlier in quarter three in The Forrester Wave\u2122: Digital Experience Platforms, Q3, 2021.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"#report-form\">Get your complimentary copy of the report<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>The Rapid Integration of Exponea Paved The Way<\/h3>\n<p>This is the first time Bloomreach has participated in The Forrester Wave\u2122 for CCCM independent platforms and gained recognition as a Leader. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomreach.com\/en\/blog\/bloomreach-announces-investment-the-acquisition-of-exponea\">Prior to the integration of Exponea,<\/a> Bloomreach was not eligible to be considered for scoring in the CCCM report because it did not have a customer data platform (CDP) as a part of its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomreach.com\/en\/blog\/apis-microservices-transforming-shopping-experience\">digital experience platform (DXP)<\/a> offering. Adding the CDP and marketing automation capabilities of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomreach.com\/en\/products\/engagement\">Bloomreach Engagement, our Customer Data and Experience Platform (CDXP),<\/a> caught the attention of Forrester as this is a big part of scoring well in the category.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/go.forrester.com\/policies\/forrester-wave-methodology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Forrester Wave\u2122: CCCM report<\/a> provides a guide for buyers considering their options in the technology marketplace. To offer an equitable process for all participants, Forrester allows a publicly available methodology, which is applied consistently across all participating vendors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Forrester Wave\u2122: CCCM consistently provides seekers with an outstanding shortlist of vendors and is the perfect tool to assist in learning who the key players in the market are. It is an important asset to marketing leaders that aids in making crucial decisions for the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What Does It Mean To Be A Leader?<\/h3>\n<p>What does it take to be a Leader in the The Forrester Wave\u2122: CCCM report? A comprehensive commitment to serving customers at a high level in a variety of different ways. It takes having a product that is strong across the board, rather than in just one area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not just Forrester\u2019s evaluation that helps create the scoring for companies. Forrester interviews customers and incorporates their feedback into the evaluation process so that end users are represented in the process. So we believe it is the success of our customers using the platform today that is the real reason behind our being named a Leader.<\/p>\n<p>Our highest marks were scored in the \u201ccurrent offering\u201d category of the scorecard and deeper yet, the highest score possible in the customer analytics criterion (a five of five). Bloomreach also scored among the highest in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomreach.com\/en\/blog\/customer-data-management\">customer data management<\/a> criterion and fourth highest in the measurement and optimization criterion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We are honored to be named a Leader because Forrester\u2019s research process is thorough and exhaustive. The report specifically states:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBloomreach joins our CCCM evaluation courtesy of its acquisition of Exponea in early 2021. Its Bloomreach Experience Platform combines the newly-branded Bloomreach CDP and Bloomreach Engagement modules with Bloomreach Discovery and Bloomreach Content. Exponea boosts Bloomreach\u2019s strong presence in the retail industry as more than half of its 400 customers are ecommerce retailers or direct-to-consumer (DTC) manufacturers. The remainder span verticals including financial services and telecommunications. European mid market firms represent nearly 90% of its install base, but Bloomreach is rapidly expanding \u2013 especially in the Americas \u2013 on the heels of the Exponea acquisition as well as a new $150 million round of investment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBloomreach differentiates with an intuitive [user experience] UX that makes its complex AI algorithms accessible to marketing users. Its slick testing, optimization, and reporting tools surface opportunities and recommend improvements. It also offers balanced channel orchestration across digital and human assisted channels, though its mobile coverage lags other vendors. Its European retail and banking references registered the most comprehensive channel mix in this study \u2013 12 channels each today with plans to take that number to 17 in the next two years. Digital marketing teams across verticals should consider Bloomreach as an innovative, AI-driven solution to empower their CCCM users.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(The Forrester Wave\u2122: Cross-Channel Campaign Management (Independent Platforms), Q3 2021)<\/p>\n<h3>Bloomreach Engagement Puts Customers First<\/h3>\n<p>Specifically, we feel Bloomreach received this result because our clients are able to take full advantage of our current capabilities to connect with their consumers. In addition to our recognition with Forrester, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomreach.com\/en\/blog\/2021\/06\/bloomreach-named-a-2021-gartner-peer-insights-customers-choice-for-dxp\">Bloomreach was recognized<\/a> as a Customers\u2019 Choice in the May 2021 Gartner Peer Insights \u2018Voice of the Customer\u2019: Digital Experience Platforms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We believe our position in The Forrester Wave\u2122: CCCM&nbsp; signifies that Bloomreach has cemented its place at the top of the market thanks in large part to the acquisition of Exponea in early 2021 and the development of Bloomreach Engagement as the third pillar of the Bloomreach Experience Platform. The determination and hard work of our dedicated team shines through with this designation.<\/p>\n<p>One customer reference that came from a five-year Bloomreach Engagement (formerly Exponea) user states: <em>\u201cWe see a bright future with Bloomreach and its roadmap to bring a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomreach.com\/en\/products\/content\/headless-cms\">headless content management system<\/a> (CMS) capabilities to the platform\u201d.<\/em> This reference statement is, in our opinion, proof that the acquisition has been successful and a testament to the hard work put in by Bloomreach employees in 2021 to integrate two companies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As stated in the report, <em>\u201cDigital marketing teams across verticals should consider Bloomreach as an innovative AI-driven solution to empower their CCCM users.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Bloomreach, we\u2019re incredibly proud of our CDP offering,\u201d said Bloomreach CEO and co-founder Raj De Datta. \u201cIt\u2019s the most loved on the market, and for good reason. Quite simply, it is the best product for ecommerce marketers. It stitches data together, adds analytics on top, and enables actionability to accelerate time-to-market and time-to-value for the marketer.\u201d<a id=\"report-form\" name=\"report-form\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We are truly proud of our Leader designation.
