  * Technology appears to strike balance between being feature rich,
    flexible, and scalable enough to power businesses

  * Particular strength in AI-powered personalized search, a result of
    strategic investment in SPARQUE.AI

  * Report states: "Customers appreciate the robustness of the B2B
    capabilities as well as its flexibility"

Jena, Germany, May 6, 2024 - Intershop Communications AG, a global provider
of B2B e-commerce solutions for the manufacturing and wholesale sectors, has
been recognized for its current offering and is named a "Strong Performer"
in the recent report by Forrester Research, Inc. - "The Forrester Wave(TM):
Commerce Solutions For B2B, Q2 2024". The report cites Intershop's
architecture improvements and its good vision of how buying experiences will
evolve.

As organizations are looking for digital commerce solutions that
successfully balance robustness, composability and agility, we believe
Intershop remains at the forefront, earning top scores possible 5/5 in six
criteria - assisted buying and quoting, personalized search, order and
inventory management, customer account and contract entitlements, workflow
and business process modeling, and AI. Its personalized search capabilities,
powered by SPARQUE.AI, have been cited as strengths.

The report points out that "Intershop now appears to have struck the balance
between being feature rich, flexible, and scalable enough to power
businesses like the ShopCloud 360 distributor network. Intershop has good
vision of how buying experiences will evolve as smart manufacturing is
adopted across industries". SHOPcloud360 was launched by Intershop customer
Einkaufsbüro Deutscher Eisenhändler (E/D/E), Europe's leading purchasing and
marketing association for the production connection trade (PVH) and offers
its distributors an additional service element in e-commerce and e-business
based on the Intershop Commerce Platform.

Markus Klahn, CEO of Intershop, comments: "At Intershop, we're proud to have
received among the top scores in the current offering category in the recent
Forrester Wave report. We believe our Intershop Commerce Platform stands out
in the report, reflecting our commitment to empowering businesses with
scalable and customizable commerce solutions for an AI-driven era. By
focusing on what matters most to our customers - flexibility, scalability,
and the freedom to create tailored solutions - we continue to set standards
in the B2B e-commerce landscape."

For this report, Forrester researched, analyzed, and scored 14 of the most
significant B2B e-commerce solution providers. The evaluation of B2B
e-commerce solutions is based on 24 criteria, organized into three
overarching categories: current offering, strategy, and market presence.
