Technology partners include Microsoft, Apica, Bright Cove, Clay Tablet Technologies, Coveo, FuseIT, Hedgehog Development, Insite Software, Jungle Torch, Kapow Software, Lionbridge Technologies (News - Alert), Ooyala, Rackspace Hosting and Telligent.

"It was important for us to expand our CMS offerings in a way that would offer customers more alternatives while also complementing our cloud solutions," said Dany Charland, director, professional services, BLACKIRON Data. "The company's focus on building algorithms within tools that allow for a better understanding of behavior interest while tailoring the navigation experience will greatly benefit BLACKIRON's customers, particularly those with e-commerce websites."
