San Francisco, USA & London, UK, October 29th 2009 – Sitecore announced today the launch of its new Partner Portal, available to certified solution partners worldwide. Partners now have access to a variety of online resources to help them learn, collaborate and grow their practices in the Web Content Management (CMS) market.

Sitecore’s elite group of dedicated and skilled partners is a key element of the company’s success in delivering compelling websites to its customers. Sitecore’s worldwide partner program includes interactive marketing agencies, Web development firms, system integrators and resellers. Many of these organisations are involved in some of the largest implementations of Sitecore and have deep development and application integration experience. Sitecore’s Web CMS is specifically designed to empower partners with the tools and resources they need to win new clients and solve real business challenges.

“With the new Partner Portal, Sitecore has once again proven their commitment to enhancing our business, expanding our market reach and increasing revenue,” said Christian Ruud, sales director, Addition Consulting. “Furthermore, our customers will continue to reap the benefits of working with a dedicated team of design and technology experts.”

“The ability for us to now easily find answers, personalise what we see and get, and access resources in general, makes this a great tool in our day-to- day sales and marketing efforts,” Gabriel Karawani, managing director, ClearPeople, a UK partner. “Well done Sitecore!”

With the Partner Portal, Sitecore is reaffirming its commitment to the partner model and helping to accelerate and optimise website proposals and improve the quality, depth and detail of communications with its customers. Community features within the portal include the ability to comment on any of the more than 500 questions and answers for RFP development. In addition, the portal includes a partner directory where partners can interact and leverage mutual expertise.

“Building a successful website is a process not just a technology,” said Paul Markun, VP marketing, Sitecore. “The new Partner Portal is part of that process of success and gives our partners the online collaboration, knowledge sharing and rich detail needed to deliver dynamic websites. We have always viewed our partners as trusted providers of professional services, and they play an enormous part in our high end-customer satisfaction.”
