How to Plan for an Open-Source Commerce Architecture

On-Demand Webinar

In this open-access, on-demand webinar, Becky Parisotto, previously Director of Business Development at Acro Commerce, aims to educate online retailers on how they can prepare themselves for open-source architecture planning, how a typical consultation would work, and how the best solutions are 100% client-focused.

There are several commonly assumed solutions for ecommerce development issues: new platform, more tools, and custom software, but we have found these to be temporary and ultimately lead back to a re-platform in 3-5 years. Our experience has found that your commerce ecosystem can adapt and grow with your business by taking an architecture-first approach.

Watch this webinar now.

Further details

An open source commerce architecture is a fantastic option for many growing ecommerce businesses, but it’s not for everyone.

In this 20 minute webinar, Becky will peek behind the scenes of your ecommerce business and explain some of the common assumed solutions that people think will solve their operational bottlenecks. She then explains what an open source means, what an open source commerce architecture looks like, how it’s different than the assumed solutions, and finally how you can go about planning for your open source commerce architecture.

Some topics Becky provides greater details on are:

  • Stop choosing platforms and start with architecture
  • How to prepare BEFORE meeting with 3rd party vendors and consultants
  • Tips for working with a consultancy group and what to expect
