A Seamless Transition for the Future of E-Commerce
At Alt Digital Technologies, we know that in the evolving landscape of e-commerce, the adaptability of a particular business line to a certain technology is the key to successful operation. Flexibility, scalability, and seamless integration, however, must come with what the technology offers. Today, most organizations desirefrom the older systems the capability to fulfill the new customer requirements, as well as to improve operational efficiencies against the highly convoluted digital commerce environment out there. One such migration is from Oracle ATG Commerce to commercetools: a next-generation, cloud-based e-commerce platform designed for accelerating digital transformation.
In this blog, we will discuss what the migration to commercetools can offer in terms of business assistance and admissibility of the migration journey with Alt Digital Technologies.
Why Migrate from Oracle ATG Commerce?
Oracle ATG Commerce is a highly developed e-commerce solution that has been a weapon for many years. However, as customer expectations grow and technology advances, it’s becoming clear that Oracle ATG might not be the best fit for future-proof businesses.
1. Old Technology and Lack of Flexibility
While Oracle ATG Commerce has provided its purpose, it is built upon older technologies that offer different flexibility than modern cloud-based platforms. Businesses nowadays need more flexibility, faster time to market, and the capability to integrate with a wide variety of third-party tools and services. Oracle ATG can be unwieldy when it comes to scalability and changing business needs.
2. High Operational Costs
The maintenance and operational costs of using Oracle ATG Commerce are relatively significant. Keeping the on-premise solution upgraded and maintaining it often requires heavy resources with considerable investments in infrastructure. With commercetools, you can jump on a fully cloud-native architecture to save and reduce the overhead cost of infrastructure management and scale costs.
3. Better Customer Experience with Modern Technology
Consumers expect customized, fast, and seamless experiences at various touch points of web, mobile, and social media. The significantly older platform, Oracle ATG, might not be quite ready to deliver this kind of dynamic experience on its own. commercetools is built specifically for headless commerce, giving you the freedom to tailor the customer journey on any device or platform and allowing you to have the edge at delivering a more customized experience.
Get Your Team Together
Innovative, cloud-native e-commerce platforms are flexibly, scalability- and speed-wise. It helps the businesses transform into modern, personalized, digitized customer experiences and their seamless integration into existing tools and technologies. Here we immediately jump into detail as to why commercial tools are among other preferred moving it from Oracle ATG Commerce.
1. Headless Commerce for Maximum Flexibility
Truly unique is the headless commerce architecture, a predominant feature of commercetools. Headless commerce applies to decoupling the front end-the “head” of the back end and giving businesses the freedom to deliver content and experiences across multiple channels without the limitations of traditional monolithic systems like Oracle ATG. Whether it’s a website, an e-commerce mobile app, or a voice-activated commerce platform, commercetools makes customizing the customer experience a piece of cake.
2. Cloud-Native Scalability and Performance
commercetools is built to scale easily. With a microservices architecture and a lift-and-shift cloud deployment, businesses will find it easy to scale as traffic and demand increase, without heavy infrastructures to manage. The platform guarantees that your e-commerce store remains agile and can handle large volumes of traffic, complex workflows, and growing catalogs of products with no decline in performance.
3. Streamlined API Integrations
Once integrated into an ecosystem, using commercetools makes it easy to create third-party applications and payment systems supported by shipping providers. API-first means that organizations are in a position to communicate easily with all existing technological environments, simplifying usage and facilitating best practice applications for marketing, analytics, or customer relationship management. Efficient injecting, in turn, allows smooth migration from Oracle ATG with minimal disruption.
4. Faster Time to Market
commercetools accelerates the customer momentum with its agile, cloud-based architecture that rapidly deploys new features and functionalities. commercetools helps the launch of new digital products, markets, or services without waiting for extended development cycles to pass.
