Commerce as a Service Solution Accelerates Transition to E-commerce for Traditional Manufacturing Enterprises and Retailers
Abstract
Using internet to operate business has become very important for traditional manufacturing enterprises and retailers. These enterprises are facing great risk when entering e-commerce due to lack of experiences and large volume of initial IT investment. This study analyzed the Commerce as a Service (CaaS) solution which can perfectly solve these problems. The solution is based on leading e-commerce platform and cloud computing technology, which provides small to medium sized clients with a low cost alternative e-commerce. Clients will be relieved of the responsibility of managing an IT shop while still maintaining full control over their site through business user tools.
