Adoption of cloud technologies and applications built for the cloud are sweeping across B2B and B2C organizations. According to IDC, more than 50% of enterprise IT infrastructures and software investments will be cloud based by 2018.
Digital commerce is one of many segments that has embraced cloud-first because of its many benefits, including:
- Increased scalability
- Quick response to market opportunities and challenges
- Cost savings
- Reduced risk of data loss
- Simple, reliable disaster recovery
With the proliferation of cloud, digital commerce platforms are now offering cloud-based services. One example is Magento with its recent announcement of Magento Enterprise Cloud.
This new platform-as-a-service (PaaS) enables rapid deployment of fully customizable, secure, and scalable web storefronts. Clients using Magento 2.0 will be able to take advantage of the architecture and functionality of this software to run commerce platforms in the cloud.
Magento Enterprise Cloud removes the burden of testing and daily infrastructure management so merchants can focus on creating differentiated customer experiences.
“As everything moves to the cloud, many companies are looking to ease the burden of supporting infrastructure. With all of the benefits, we think that Magento developed a solid model,” commented Kaushal Shah, Perficient practice director for commerce.
