“2013 is off to a fantastic start for Demandware,” stated Tom Ebling, Chief Executive Officer, Demandware. “The power of our cloud solution is resonating loudly with larger enterprise-scale retailers and brands across vertical markets. As the pace of change in retail accelerates, companies are increasingly looking for alternatives to the inflexibility of traditional ecommerce solutions.

"This was demonstrated in the first quarter not only by our large customer wins, like Jo-Ann Stores and Avenue Stores, but also in the strength of our pipeline. Retailers recognize that the best alternative to drive innovation and deliver omni-channel experiences in their mission-critical digital commerce operations is found in the cloud and we are their only viable alternative as the leading enterprise-class, digital commerce cloud solution in the market.”
