Ecommerce continues to be a hot industry
Despite the effects of the slow recovering economy, ecommerce is one of the few industries forecasted to have continued growth over the upcoming years. In 2010, businesses increased their ecommerce technology spending by 57% globally and, according to a recent Forrester forecast report, as many as 48% of US online vendors will be investing more in 2011. Elastic Path is included in key analyst reports such as the Forrester Wave and Gartner MagicQuadrant.
