Whitepaper - Replatforming: Suite or Best of breed

Are you an entrepreneur or responsible for e-commerce? Then you know that the e-commerce market is constantly evolving. E-commerce platforms and solutions are changing too. These continuous developments put pressure on businesses and on you personally, because staying competitive means keeping up and adapting.

A common challenge is that the current e-commerce solution was developed several years ago. The choices made at the time reflected both the possibilities and limitations of that moment. Think custom-built solutions, open source and closed SaaS solutions. With custom-built and open-source solutions, you face ageing code, versions and migrations. With closed SaaS, you may run into limitations when you want to take the next step. Especially when webshops, physical stores, marketplaces, inventory and orders increasingly need to work together as one omnichannel operation.

So, it’s time to replatform. But which approach do you choose for your new commerce environment? Do you opt for a Suite, where the core commerce components already work together as one integrated solution, or do you take a Best of Breed approach and build your environment using specialized solutions?

In the whitepaper Replatforming: Suite or Best of Breed?, we compare the benefits, challenges and risks of both approaches. Helping you make a well-informed decision about the foundation of your new commerce environment.
