We Debunk the ‘Risky Stigma’ Associated with eCommerce Replatforming

From the Ultra Commerce Marketing Team,

For organizations that already have a platform in place to host and execute their online selling, the idea of eCommerce replatforming may initially be an unattractive one. The time and cost it took to implement the digital commerce platform you’re currently on could make it seem that upgrading with new versions of that platform is the way to go.

You’d be wrong.

As your current platform provider undergoes version upgrades, deciding to stay with them could prove financially disastrous to your organization. For example:

• Inability to maintain PCI DSS compliance opens you up to security and data compromises
• New versions of your current platform are entirely different from your current platform, with substantial changes making it just as easy to replatform
• Extensions and custom code may need to be re-written, making upgrading even more time consuming than replatforming

With the right digital commerce solution, you’ll be up and running in a matter of weeks instead of months. With a fully integrated platform you will never have to worry about your provider requiring third party add ons over time with no telling how well they do or don’t interact with your current systems.

Risk not a big factor in replatforming

And when it comes to the vaunted ‘risk’ factor, replatforming may actually be less risky than upgrading on your current eCommerce platform. This should make replatforming a much easier ‘sell’ to your internal stakeholders:

• No added risk
• Timely implementation, having you up and running in a matter of weeks
• A platform you can grow and scale with, no surprises in the future featuring third party add ons
