Endeca and hybris Announce Strategic Partnership

Endeca Technologies, Inc. and hybris have announced a strategic product and go-to-market partnership. The goal of this partnership is to improve eCommerce architecture. The first manifestation is a joint solution which brings together the Endeca Commerce Suite and its “dynamic storefront” experience, with the hybris Suite, which combines product information management (PIM) and eCommerce capabilities. Both companies will invest in a joint roadmap that delivers an eCommerce suite, to better serve customers with an end-to-end solution that supports the needs of rapidly growing retail and B2B eCommerce organizations. Endeca is well versed in user interfaces for eCommerce companies of all sizes while hybris brings experience from the master data management (MDM) and multi-channel commerce marketplace. As part of the partnership, Endeca will provide sales and support for the hybris Suite in North America. The integration of the joint solution aims to give users aspects of both platforms in a simplified manner that should increase both online sales and marketing effectiveness. The joint solution already has a strong partner base ready. The solution aims to be able to support and scale for multi-site, multi-language, and multi-channel activity at a competitive cost. http://www.endeca.com/ http://www.hybris.com/
