FatWire Software Receives Leader Award for Personalization from Independent Content Management Consulting Firm
BNP cites FatWire for moving online marketing “from IT to the marketing department”

Mineola, NY – December 5, 2006 FatWire Software, the leading provider of content management and delivery solutions for deploying persuasive Web sites and applications, has received the Leader Award for Personalization from the independent advisory firm BNP Consulting.  BNP’s 2006/2007 CMS and Portal Benchmarking Analysis analyzed 38 content management and portal vendors before designating Leaders in 14 categories.

"For web site personalization, FatWire’s Engage product is definitely the top choice,” said Lars Pedersen, BNP technology manager. “It is a great product for creating, managing, and tracking online marketing campaigns. Combining strong analytics with the possibility to target different user groups and markets, Fatwire is taking personalization from IT to the marketing department.”

As the web becomes an indispensable channel for customer acquisition and retention, the ability to recognize and satisfy the varied interests and needs of different customer segments is becoming paramount.  “Online personalization and targeted marketing – making sure that the right message reaches a prospect or customer at the right time, in the right context – is undoubtedly the most important factor for the new generation of customer-centric web sites,” said Tim Walters, director of international marketing and strategy at FatWire Software. “The days of the ‘one-size-fits-all’ site that displays the same information to every visitor are coming to an end. The spread of broadband and changing cultural attitudes mean that consumers now want and expect to be served and serviced online. Recreating the personal dimensions of an offline exchange on the web has to follow, and can create a significant competitive advantage for early adopters.”
