(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/29/12 -- , a leading web content management and customer experience management software company, announced the winners of its Sitecore UK 2012 awards at a prestigious ceremony attended by more than 250 guests, held last night at the Paramount Bar on the 32nd floor of Centre Point in London.
Sitecore received nominations from more than forty Sitecore customers for this year's awards. Each company uses Sitecore solutions implemented by some of the UK's leading digital agencies. These customers competed for Sitecore awards across nine vertical sector categories, from Education, Media and Advertising to Travel and Hospitality. All entries were judged on the strength of the Sitecore solution to deliver bottom-line results and return on investment, as well as pushing the boundaries in terms of innovation, functionality and capability, ranging from mobile, social, multichannel engagement, and integration with other business systems.
From these category winners, Sitecore judges picked an overall winner and named easyJet as this year's Sitecore Site of the Year UK 2012. easyJet uses Sitecore to deliver a personalized digital experience to each visitor, with its website attracting almost 400 million visits a year. Using search or GeoIP data, Sitecore dynamically personalizes the easyJet home page to show flights to the nearest airport, plus imagery and content that appeals to their previous behaviors. The home page also shows live pricing for relevant flights from a local airport -- showing easyJet's low-cost credentials, and with a click -- the visitor can add those flights to their basket.
