Challenge:

Their online store ran on a 15-year-old commerce system and couldn’t keep up with growing demands. The self-built solution became harder and more expensive to maintain. In part, the monolith was very Microsoft-centric and featured outdated components based on in-house developments. The data migration part of the project was massive; requiring the move of nearly 14 million products including categories, attributes and additional information to a new system.

Solution:

The old architecture was replaced in phases and the systems involved were successively decoupled from one another. C.H.Beck selected commercetools’ scalable, cloud-native commerce platform and opted for Microsoft Azure for the cloud infrastructure.
