Sagittarius today announced that Ian MacArthur, CEO, Christine Bookless and Robert McGovern, Sitecore Optimisation Consultants,  have been named Ambassador MVP and Strategy MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals) respectively by Sitecore®, a global leader in end-to-end digital experience management software.
