Managing the customer experience—from Start-ups to the Global Fortune 500

“Kentico is committed to helping businesses deliver a digital customer experience,” said Petr Palas, Founder and CEO. “By using our products, businesses of all sizes—as well as digital marketing agencies—can manage their entire digital footprint, from websites and landing pages to email campaigns and E-stores, taking full advantage of analytics and customizing the experience based on each visitor’s preferences and history.”

Product strategy keeping pace with rapidly changing market dynamics

Kentico entered the CMS marketplace back in 2004 and has been steadily improving its core technology ever since. The 11th major version of its Enterprise Marketing Solution or EMS is due to be released in November and will include a completely redesigned email marketing engine as well as more advanced E-commerce capabilities able to support large, multinational corporations.

But that’s just part of the story. For the past 12 months, Kentico has in fact been pursuing a dual-rail product strategy and has also been developing Kentico Cloud, the headless, platform-agnostic CMS that allows businesses to focus on creating quality content while streamlining the process for omnichannel delivery.
