10 Glorious Years of Magento

August 31, 2007 witnessed a breakthrough in technology – The official launch of first ever beta version of Magento, an open-source e-commerce platform. After 7 months, Varien Inc. released the first stable version 1.0 of Magento on March 31, 2008.

Today, on it’s 10th Year Anniversary, we are very proud and happy to see how it has grown over all these years. Our vision about Magento was right.

Magento has come a long way since its first stable version release. It has seen many new milestones like the launch of Adobe Commerce (magento commerce), Magento Go, Magento Professional Edition and lot more has happened with it during this phase. It was acquired by eBay and it later became an independent company with more power. Today, Magento is leading the ecommerce space with over 26% of global ecommerce space. With its latest offerings like Magento Opensource, Adobe Commerce (magento commerce), Magento Cloud, Magento BI, Magento Order Management and lot more, the journey to capture the remaining ecommerce space seems to have just begun.

Since its inception, number of features and capabilities were rolled out to provide new ways to heighten user engagement, smooth navigation, improve conversion rates and overall revenue generation for storeowners. Magento empowers thousands of retailers and brands with the best e-commerce platform and flexible cloud solutions to rapidly innovate and grow. The release of Magento 2.2 in Nov 2017 made it easy for Magento to write new stories in its path to global dominance.

In 2017, Gartner’s report assessed 21 e-commerce platform providers to create a thoughtful evaluation of top digital commerce vendors in a growing market. Adobe Commerce (magento commerce), the worldwide leader in digital commerce innovation cloud was recognized as a Leader by Gartner Inc. in the 2017 Magic Quadrant for Digital Commerce.
