BigCommerce also recognized as a Major Player
in B2B Digital Commerce by the IDC MarketScape
BigCommerce (Nasdaq: BIGC), a leading open SaaS ecommerce
platform for fast-growing and established brands, today announced
it has been named a Leader in B2C Digital Commerce in the new IDC
MarketScape: Worldwide SaaS and Cloud-Enabled B2C Digital Commerce
Platforms 2020 Vendor Assessment. The report evaluated 19 digital
commerce platforms based on both their capabilities and strategy
for B2C use cases.
In the report’s evaluation of BigCommerce, Jordan Jewell,
research manager of IDC's Digital Commerce program, said, “Consider
BigCommerce if you are a fast-growing, experience-driven brand
looking for a multitenant SaaS B2C digital commerce platform,” and
“if your organization is primarily focused on differentiating with
business agility and a fast time to market with a platform that is
very business user–friendly.”
“IDC MarketScape’s positioning of BigCommerce as a Leader for
B2C digital commerce platforms is a major achievement for the
company and validation of our open SaaS approach, which combines
enterprise-grade flexibility with the speed, performance and low
cost of SaaS,” said Brent Bellm, chief executive officer at
BigCommerce. “In the wake of the pandemic, we have seen many
customer-focused B2C and B2B brands make ecommerce their top
business priority. Following this year’s launch of BigCommerce’s
native multi-currency functionality and our intuitive,
drag-and-drop Page Builder tool, we believe BigCommerce is the best
SaaS ecommerce platform in the world for established brands and
complex, global businesses creating next-generation online shopping
experiences.”
"Selecting the right cloud B2C digital commerce platform can be
extremely hard; there isn't a one-size-fits-all vendor, and the
market is evolving extremely fast," Jewell said. "The right B2C
digital commerce software vendor must provide you with a
competitive advantage in areas including business agility,
customizability, experience management (content), and technology
agility while also supporting sales across geographies and
industries. The platform must also be architected to support
substantial commerce business model changes in the years to
come."
The IDC MarketScape report cites BigCommerce’s strengths in B2C
digital commerce as:
- Level of value: Customers that IDC interviewed rated
BigCommerce above average for the level of value delivered,
relative to price paid for the application.
- App Marketplace: BigCommerce offers an App Marketplace
for add-ons to the core commerce offering in areas such as PIM,
order management, shipping, and marketing content management. In
total, there are over 800 apps on the marketplace.
- Implementation experience: Customers that IDC
interviewed rated BigCommerce above average for its implementation
experience. Smaller customers IDC spoke with were able to implement
without developers.
BigCommerce was also recognized as a Major Player in the 2020
MarketScape for B2B Digital Commerce Platforms, which IDC
simultaneously published alongside its MarketScape for B2C Digital
Commerce Platforms.
