SAN JOSE and AGOURA HILLS, Calif., Nov. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Baynote, a leading provider of eCommerce personalization solutions, and TouchCommerce, the leading conversion marketing solutions provider, today announced a partnership to further personalize online interactions and increase ecommerce conversions. By integrating Baynote's intent-based Personalization Platform into the TouchCommerce Conversion as a Service™ offering, online businesses can offer personalized recommendations within the TouchCommerce chat or guided assistance solutions to maximize average order values and increase site-wide conversion.

Baynote's Personalization Platform understands and adapts to "in the moment" buyer intent throughout the entire shopping lifecycle, allowing eCommerce executives to continuously offer the most relevant content and products to consumers at different stages in the shopping experience. Online businesses rely on TouchCommerce managed conversion solutions to engage visitors in real-time and assist them during the buying process to reduce abandonment and increase sell-through opportunities.
