Leading Independent Research Firm Gives Strong Competency Rating to Skava in Mobile Web, Apps, Tablet and Facebook


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- San Francisco based Skava announced today that they were one of 14 vendors analyzed in an August 2011 report, Market Overview: Mobile Commerce Solutions For Retail published by Forrester. As one of the few Omni-Commerce solution providers in the market today, Skava was the only vendor to score "Strong Competency" ratings in the top four touch point categories - mobile web, mobile apps, tablet and Facebook.

CEO and Founder Arish Ali commented "We are thrilled to get this recognition from a leading market research firm. We believe this is a validation of our quality over quantity approach – we work with some of the most storied brands in retail and provide them with best of breed omni-commerce solutions."

Skava started out as mobile platform and apps developer but has since evolved the platform beyond mobile to incorporate all channels in response to the constantly changing needs of its clients as new channels become significant in an industry which evolves at breakneck speed.

Ali explains "We work with many of the top 25 online retailers who are typically the first to respond to creating a solution for a new channel that becomes significant. For this reason, we have developed the Skava platform so it is flexible and robust and can respond to their needs quickly."

Ali observes "Many of the calls we are getting today are from retailers with an existing mobile website looking to re-vendor. Many retailers' first steps into mobile websites were to go with a quick and dirty cookie-cutter solution. With the rapid growth in mobile and tablet traffic, retailers have realized that they need a more robust long term strategy for mobile and a more flexible solution that can adapt and evolve to their unique requirements."

Retailers are also looking to leverage their investment in a mobile commerce solution to other channels such as Tablet Commerce and Facebook Commerce. The Skava platform is one of the few Omni-Commerce platforms in the marketplace today that can deliver all the channels from one platform. Once a retailer builds a marketing campaign or shopping solution on one channel, with an Omni-Commerce vendor they can quickly and cost effectively deploy the campaign on multiple channels ensuring their customers receive a seamless experience whether it be mobile, Facebook, tablet or desktop.
