Evergage, The 1-to-1 Platform company, announced that Forrester Research, a leading global research and advisory firm, has ranked Evergage as a Strong Performer in its report “The Forrester Wave: Experience Optimization Platforms, Q2 2018,” published recently.

This first-ever Wave report on the experience optimization platform space examines the “eight providers that matter most,” noting: “Savvy optimization pros seek to personalize customer experience across digital touchpoints by adopting a continuous optimization strategy, which Forrester defines as: An analytics-driven approach that seeks to leverage every customer interaction to evolve the understanding of the customer – which is, in turn, used to evolve and optimize current and future customer experiences.” A complete experience optimization platform, according to Forrester, is one that offers “a software solution with advanced capabilities for online testing, behavioral targeting and recommendation provisions.”

Addressing these capabilities from a single, consolidated platform is an increasing priority for companies today. Forrester notes: “CI [customer insights] pros have accelerated the consolidation of experience optimization practices in response to growing expectations that brands must deliver supreme, individualized digital experiences across an ever-growing breadth of digital touchpoints. On top of that, personalization must occur all within the context of the existing relationship, historical interactions and the customer’s needs at the moment of interaction.”

The Wave evaluated Evergage 1 – which provides a full suite of customer data platform (CDP), testing and real-time personalization capabilities, including targeting and 1-to-1 machine learning-driven recommendations and in-the-moment experiences.
