IBM’s IOD conference has become one of those annual traditions that marks a milestone in the year for our IBM partnership. Maybe it’s because of the time of year or just the amount of effort that goes into the conference by both Perficient and IBM, but each year we’re reminded introspectively of just how much […]

By: David Hess, Senior Business Development Manager I have witnessed with increasing alarm the ease with which my wife is able to use her iPad to shop while sitting on our couch…in her pajamas…sipping a cup of coffee. What I affectionately refer to as “couch commerce” is simply one more example of how mobile is […]

Oracle has fully jumped into the Customer Experience market and is claiming a revolution!  We now have the age of the customer.  Oracle says “Customers have many choices today.

Slashdot highlighted a great post on an alternative method to A/B testing.  Those of you in the commerce related world are probably very familiar with A/B testing and I’m willing to bet that you have achieved decent results.  However, it has one problem, it takes a lot of time to set it up, review the […]

Brian Solis has an excellent post on the psychology of social engagement.  It’s worth your reading his entire take on things and the research he references.  A lot of you might read it and say, “Duh!, I already knew that” but I would say that when someone codifies it, we are the better for being […]

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised about Oracle buying another company.  Endeca has a great search engine.  Years ago, mostly commerce sites running WebSphere Commerce and ATG used it but recently a lot of other companies have used them because they make faceted search easy.  I’ll be curious to see how this Oracle acquisition affects […]

IBM is combining their various commerce products to create a more cohesive offering. I’m not the biggest expert but it’s obvious they are extending functionality and integrating capability.   They held a session on Smarter Commerce and their offerings.  From what they had a few years ago with just WebSphere Commerce, they’ve grown to cut across […]

For more information on what’s happening there and to track it, you […]
