Columbus, the global digital business services provider, has achieved Gold partner status with Commerce giant Episerver, emphasising their strong partnership through 2019 and into the new decade.

Episerver has independently been verified as a global leader in Commerce and Content Management Solutions (CMS). Organisations that have adopted Episerver solutions have seen a dramatic improvement in business performance due to the increase of conversion rates, average order value and overall website traffic.

The partnership with Episerver further strengthens the growing Columbus solution portfolio, enabling its customers to improve and future-proof their businesses in many areas.

Mark Bennigsen, Columbus Services Development Director said, “I am delighted that Episerver has awarded Columbus with Gold partner status as it recognises and reinforces the ability Columbus has to help businesses digitally transform. I am a great champion of Episerver and I am excited to see what the future holds for organisations who are reaping the benefits of implementing a first-class Commerce and CMS solution.”

Matt Pilgrim, Partner and Alliances Director, Episerver added, “at Episerver, our Partners are at the heart of everything we do and our Partner program is there to help Partners differentiate. As Partners develop deep expertise in our platform or specialisms in a specific solution area; this is reflected by achievements in the program. Columbus brings a wealth of commerce and ERP integration experience that will be an added benefit to our customers and an asset to the Episerver Partner ecosystem. I am delighted by the commitment shown by Columbus and look forward to seeing our partnership develop.”
