About Our Sitecore / Episerver Business Unit:

We have been partnering with Sitecore for more than fifteen years. As one of just a few Platinum Sitecore partners in the U.S., we are dedicated to the partnership, to growing our team of Sitecore professionals, to growing the Sitecore community, and to our clients. Our team consists of more than eighty Sitecore-certified consultants and twelve Sitecore MVPs. We consistently receive awards for our work, including a 2018 Experience Award and previous awards for Site of the Year. Perficient believes so strongly in the capabilities of Sitecore that we have chosen to build Perficient.com on the Sitecore platform.

We have been partnering with Episerver for more than 3 years and our team has been developing with the product for over 5. Perficient is currently a Gold partner and before the end of 2020 will qualify for Platinum status, making us one of only 4 US-based companies to achieve Platinum status. We currently have one eMVP and nearly 30 certified developers, with plans to increase both of those numbers over the next year.

With a digital agency that is 400+ strong, we dream big. And we build beautiful, too, thanks to our growing team of MVPs, years as a partner, and deep roots as an established technology consultancy. Technology is at our core, and when fused with a team of talented content strategists, visual designers, and experience architects, we deliver on the complete vision and bring experiences to life.

Perficient has offices in many major cities with hubs for the team in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, and Irvine. We are proud to be publicly recognized as a "Top Workplace" year after year. This is due, in no small part, to our entrepreneurial attitude and collaborative spirit that sets us apart and keeps our colleagues impassioned, driven, and fulfilled. We also have a strong remote culture and much of our team works remotely.
