3. Forrester:
“Ektron has developed tight integrations
for its WCM with other components of the
CXM ecosystem, such as analytics and
CRM.
Indeed, its ability to ingest analytics
information from third-party products such
as Omniture, Webtrends, and Google and
display them via heat maps within the
content management environment is a
model for its peers to follow.
Ektron also displays a strong grasp of the
importance of the social channel, through
its delivery to third-party social networks
and ability to ingest profile information
from those sites and use it for content
targeting.”
