The secret is out: Norwegian-based CMS vendor eZ has been reborn as Ibexa. In what’s more than just a rebranding exercise, the company also announced a more substantial shift from their previous content-focused approach to a broader focus on the B2B digital challenge.

It’s quite common in the crowded vendor marketplace that is centred around digital experience platforms to hear about mergers and acquisitions and also new vendors securing substantial funding. Product names also come and go, in particular combined with mergers and acquisitions, but having said that, it’s quite rare to hear about established vendors both changing their name and substantially changing direction.

So what’s behind the brave move and what does it mean to you?
