The report also states, "WCM solutions with dynamic content delivery support put these tools directly into the hands of marketers and merchandisers to make changes to the site without having to go through the IT black box. This facilitates more timely reactions and ensures that business-user objectives don't get lost in translation." Forrester found that RedDot's "LiveServer handles delivery of personalized content and is ideal for content-centric sites."

The report assesses the state of the Web content management (WCM) market's approach to the retail industry and compares the strengths and weaknesses of RedDot Solutions with other top WCM vendors across 200 criteria.
