BELLEVUE, Wash. - Friday, November 18th 2011 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ascentium, a technology-enabled digital marketing agency, announced today that it will be taking over future product development, marketing and support of Commerce Server, subsequent to the recently released Microsoft Commerce Server 2009 R2. Commerce Server 2009 is an enterprise-class digital commerce product used by Fortune 1,000 retail, consumer packaged goods and manufacturing customers.
On Sept. 6, 2011, Ascentium acquired Cactus Commerce, Microsoft Corp.’s development partner of Commerce Server for the past four years. The new firm is a well-established company with presence in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. In addition, Ascentium is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and has been recognized for its expertise in Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Commerce Server practices.
“We are one of the few agencies that can design and build great digital experiences for our customers. We are unique in our ability to offer an integrated digital commerce solution, including brand strategy, user experience, development, support and optimization,” said Ascentium CEO Curt Doolittle. “Customers can expect a reinvigorated Microsoft-based enterprise commerce solution, with a clear, customer-driven roadmap and ongoing investment. We also look forward to building out a strong partner community through business models such as reseller agreements.”
Microsoft will continue to honor mainstream and extended support of Commerce Server 2009 through 2014 and 2019, respectively. Microsoft will not release future versions of Commerce Server, but Commerce Server 2009 R2 will continue to be part of the company’s official price list until July 2012. Both companies are working closely together to facilitate a smooth transition plan for existing and prospective customers.
