Sitecore Lands in "Winners" Category on The 2016 CRM Watchlist Winners List

SAUSALITO, Calif., March 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sitecore®, the global leader in experience management software, today announced that it has been recognized by The 2016 CRM Watchlist as a winner in a competition led and judged by esteemed journalist and digital marketing content specialist, Paul Greenberg.

Greenberg, a blogger, best-selling author and President of The 56 Group, LLC, a customer strategy consulting firm, compiled the annual 2016 CRM Watchlist which was created to highlight top global technology companies who serve the CRM marketplace.

"This year's CRM Watchlist was the toughest year ever to win, so everyone on this list deserves applause. To have an impact, the company has to be pretty much a complete company who has been doing this long enough to have established a rhythm that leads to impact. The company has to be well rounded -- it has financial stability, solid management, excellent products and services, culture, and a strong partner ecosystem to help sustain its efforts. It has to have a clear vision and mission and also clear-cut strategies to get external forces - customers, analysts, journalists, prospects, etc. – engaged," said Greenberg. 

"We are pleased to receive such a prestigious honor from a known expert in the field of CRM, CMS and WCM," said Scott Anderson, CMO, Sitecore.  "Sitecore has built a platform from the ground up that uniquely enables companies to know every customer and shape every experience in real-time and at scale. Recognition as a winner on the CRM Watchlist provides yet another validation of our efforts to help our clients globally deliver a truly integrated brand experience for their customers."
