This deck is from an InformationWeek 2013 Internet Trends webinar. Summary: There's no such thing as a standalone ecommerce site – today, this function cannot be a bolt-on. Companies must go broad and think holistically, looping in ERP, suppliers, security, marketing automation packages and more. There are multiple ecommerce instances geared for specific partners. But it's a big, ongoing development challenge, and customers demand a seamless experience, whether interacting on PCs, tablets or smartphones. Yet, there are no standards to lean on.
In this webcast we'll discuss state-of-the-art back-end infrastructure and automation, ways to overcome gaps in transaction processes, and services-based options.
You'll learn:
Technical hurdles and design considerations
Major challenges and opportunities to improve
Examples of companies using best practices to get this right

uncontrollable
