The Right E-Commerce Platform

The right ecommerce platform depends on your business needs. Oshyn will work with you to assess your needs and help you choose the best solution whether it be an Open Source solution like Magneto, a commercial solution or a module of your WCM. Choosing the right ecommerce solution is critical to the success of your ecommerce website now and to allow for future growth as well as to ensure that there are acceptable development times and costs.

Understanding requirements is no simple task. After required features are defined, creating use cases and user personas can reveal new requirements. Oshyn will help you understand systems integration possibilities to maximize efficiency and automate processes. We will help you understand how content on the website will be managed, order fulfillment process and inventory tracking. When we begin developing your ecommerce website (or ecommerce website redesign) we will deploy our agile methodology to allow you to see progress in iterations and make changes during development to ensure that on launch-day your ecommerce website will deliver as expected. Oshyn will integrate systems using Service-Oriented Architecture to enable faster future development.

Oshyn Can Solve Even "Obscure" Ecommerce Issues

A leading Higher Education institution’s legacy mainframe system previously required multiple resources to manage the complex end-to-end manual order fulfillment process. While not an example that typically comes to mind when thinking of ecommerce, Higher Education would prefer students purchase from their institution and not commercial booksellers online. Oshyn developed a web-based Course Material Ordering System (CMOS) application that has increased fulfillment efficiency and lessened the workload by designing an interface that allows the entire process to be managed by a single user. The CMOS is now designed to handle more shipping requirements and automatically respond to exceptions such as changes in enrollment status. The new Course Material Ordering System was built in .NET, integrated with SunGard SCT Banner and leverages the TIBCO enterprise architecture to save time and improve accuracy through automation of the application’s information feeds across internal databases and Third Party Logistics.
