SAUSALITO, Calif., July 20, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sitecore®, the global leader in customer experience management, today announced the Sitecore Experience Awards 2015 winners in North America.

Both customers and partners can nominate a North American website, built on Sitecore, for an award.

The 2015 winner of Site of the Year is Accenture. Accenture implemented its new, global website with technical assistance from Avanade. Accenture leverages Sitecore's content management solutions to deliver a leading-edge user experience and showcase new and engaging content for more than three million visits a month. Key features of the site include: a search-based approach; responsive design that enables the same user experience across all devices; and, engaging video, infographics and imagery; and content sharing through social networks.

"The new digital platform provides us with an essential tool for engaging clients, recruits, investors and other stakeholders with highly relevant content and a modern design that is completely integrated with social, mobile and content strategies," said Roxanne Taylor, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer of Accenture. "With the new platform, we are able to communicate the full breadth and depth of our capabilities and insights across Accenture's five businesses and drive differentiation in the marketplace."
