IBM WebSphere Commerce
WebSphere Commerce provides business user tools for Merchandising, Catalog Management and Cross-channel Precision Marketing campaigns and promotions. It speeds and simplifies the deployment and management of differentiated e-commerce sites while maximizing performance, scalability and adaptability. Driving improved customer loyalty and increasing shopping cart sizes, WebSphere Commerce delivers rich, personalized and contextually relevant content at each stage of the shopping experience.

WebSphere Commerce delivers a smarter e-commerce solution than any other solution available today. The design and function of this platform was achieved by focusing on three (3) key themes:

• Customer centricity
• Cross-channel execution
• Foundational leadership

Customer centricity
WebSphere Commerce enables users to define and deliver a rich experience for their customers. It also helps to promote and distinguish brands and product lines by using powerful Precision Marketing Capabilities, rich Web 2.0 widgets within the reference Starter Store and various Social Commerce features.

Cross-channel execution
WebSphere Commerce provides a set of Web 2.0 shopping flows that display views of in-store inventory, providing the ability to place orders online that can be picked up in-store and receive status updates throughout the order lifecycle.

Foundational leadership
WebSphere Commerce leverages the underlying IBM middleware platform to attain reliable and highly available operation, high transaction volumes as well as integration to back-end systems and applications using standard SOA-based interfaces.
