SAN JOSE, CA – April 17, 2012 — SLI Systems announced today that it has teamed with e-commerce platform provider Magento, to bring the power of its full-service, learning-based site search to retail clients using the Magento platform.

SLI Systems also announced that it is a gold sponsor of imagine eCommerce, Magento’s worldwide conference, taking place April 23-25, 2012, in Las Vegas.

“Search is a key feature of any e-commerce website, and greatly influences the overall visitor experience,” said Ed Hoffman, vice president of global business and corporate development for SLI Systems. “Through search technology that learns from customer behavior, retailers can maximize site usability and conversions.
