Featured in Adobe demonstrations at this week’s NRF show, the commercetools integration helps retailers bring their vision of seamless customer experiences to life faster – a core tenant in commercetools‘ vision of faster innovation through rapid iteration. Many large retailers continue to struggle with monolithic, inflexible commerce platforms that are slow to modify and expensive to maintain. Meanwhile, innovative retailers have implemented agile microservices strategies to respond in hours to changing business conditions with the ability to capitalize on trending products, changes in inventory or flash sales.
Adobe’s commerce microservices are built on the Adobe Cloud Platform, giving developers the tools to quickly deploy and customize code, reducing development time from weeks to hours. Because the solution is version-less, customizations will continue to work as companies upgrade other systems.
Working with Adobe, we are accelerating the adoption of a microservices-based approach to commerce, which is absolutely necessary to keep pace with the demands of today’s retail environment. We have long evangelized a clear vision for how the speed and agility benefits of a cloud-based, microservices platform could disrupt the traditional commerce approach to overcome the inherent shortcomings of legacy commerce systems. The integration with Adobe furthers this vision, giving retailers a competitive edge via a commerce solution that exceeds consumer demands for an engaging, personalized and omnichannel experience.
