itelligence Partners with Gorilla Group to Improve Customers' End-to-End Ecommerce Capabilities

CINCINNATI and CHICAGO, June 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- itelligence today announced it has formed a strategic partnership with Gorilla Group, a full-service ecommerce consulting firm focused on strategy, design, technology and managed services, to provide enterprise customers with complete ecommerce solutions. Together, itelligence and Gorilla will leverage their deep experience and adherence to SAP Best Practices to provide enterprise customers — whether selling to consumers or other businesses — with highly effective and affordable ecommerce solutions that deliver better ROI from customers' critical technology investments.

"Gorilla was an easy choice for itelligence when we looked for an experienced SAP network partner that had the full complement of ecommerce experience — especially around the hybris omni-commerce platform," said Mark Mueller, SVP and chief innovation officer, itelligence North America. "As a hybris Gold Solution Partner, Gorilla will offer our customers unique abilities to spur user adoption and recognize front-to-back control over their sales cycle, systems and customers."

In August 2013, SAP AG  completed the acquisition of hybris, a rapidly growing and widely recognized leader in commerce technology. With this transaction, SAP is investing in the future of commerce and customer engagement, helping to enable businesses to deliver relevant, contextual and consistent experiences for customers across all their digitally-enabled interactions. The two companies plan to combine the agile omni-channel commerce solutions of hybris with robust enterprise technology and industry leading in-memory, cloud and mobile innovations from SAP to help facilitate new levels of customer insight and engagement.

"We're very excited about the potential of this new partnership with itelligence because their deep SAP expertise combined with our experience delivering hybris-based ecommerce solutions integrated into the SAP ecosystem will provide exceptional value to our shared clients," said Bob Meyer, managing director, Gorilla Group. "itelligence has global reach and deep knowledge of medium-size enterprises, a business audience that we're looking to grow. This collaboration will allow us to deliver immediate value to our collective customer base to effectively increase our value-add and demonstrate a truly successful partnership."

To kick off the partnership, itelligence and Gorilla will exhibit together in booth #339 at SAPPHIRE NOW, SAP's international customer conference being held in Orlando, Fla., June 3-5, 2014.  The event brings together SAP's customers, prospects and partner organizations, providing an opportunity to network and exchange business ideas. Gorilla will specifically showcase its hybris software experience.
