Magento Honors Gorilla as 2010 U.S. Partner of the Year

Gorilla, an industry-leading ecommerce solutions provider, has been honored by Magento as 2010 U.S. Partner of the Year. The coveted award, presented at the conclusion of Magento’s inaugural “Imagine eCommerce” worldwide summit, pitted Gorilla against over 350 competitors, each vying to be recognized for their contributions to the world’s fastest growing ecommerce platform.

“The Partner of the Year award is given to the partner…who has shown the greatest success in 2010 in promoting Magento Enterprise,” said Jary Carter, VP of U.S. Sales at Magento. “[Gorilla] excelled to become the top contributor in the U.S. [by] focusing on selling the value of Magento Enterprise,” added Scott Dahlgren, Magento’s Senior Director of Worldwide Channels.

Magento’s Partner of the Year award is based on numerous criteria including client satisfaction, quality implementations, sales, and customer advocacy. As a Magento Enterprise Partner since 2008, Gorilla was able to excel in each of these categories by utilizing a Magento-specific team of user interface designers, user experience architects, platform architects, engineers, and online marketing specialists. This collaborative team approach has enabled Gorilla to successfully grow ecommerce channels for a wide range of multi-channel companies including 3M, Inc. Magazine, and Medline Industries.

“Early on we saw the potential of Magento as a game-changing ecommerce solution,” said Brian Grady, Principal at Gorilla. “So we built a dedicated team of designers, developers and marketers focused solely on the Magento platform. By performing all work in-house, without the use of off-shoring, sub-contractors, or freelancers, Gorilla has been able to successfully leverage the full power of Magento to produce exceptional results for our clients.”

Gorilla is humbled to have received the prestigious Magento Partner of the Year award and will continue to provide their clients with innovative, front-to-back Magento Enterprise solutions in 2011, and beyond.
