Breakthrough solution eliminates the barrier between ecommerce and digital marketing platforms
Vancouver, BC, November 28, 2014--(T-Net)--Elastic Path Software Inc., an ecommerce company helping the world's biggest brands generate more revenue, today released a new version of its flagship product, Elastic Path for Adobe Marketing Cloud.
The new ecommerce solution adds essential monetization capabilities to the Adobe digital marketing system, and provides companies with a single integrated platform to deliver desktop, mobile, and in-store experiences that fully engage customers and increase buyer conversion.
Deploying a Modern Ecommerce Solution
According to Forrester Research, retail sales in North America alone are expected to top US$3.6 trillion by 2017, with half of that (US$1.8 trillion) either purchased in or influenced by a web, mobile, or other digital experience.
“Deploying a modern ecommerce solution has never been more important, as the numbers clearly illustrate the tremendous opportunity for customer-obsessed retailers,” said Peter Lukomskyj, Vice President Products for Elastic Path. “Unfortunately, so many companies are using obsolete technology or don't have the tools necessary to satisfy the demanding consumer of today, let alone future shopping possibilities such as wearables or personalized in-store signage. Our platform is built to do this - it allows marketers to take merchandising, personalization, and order capture from the web store into every customer interaction with their brand.”
Best of breed flexibility versus “Big Iron”
Elastic Path provides an integration-friendly, API-centric alternative to single-vendor platforms that makes it easy for developers and digital agencies to integrate with other critical business systems, according to the company. Built with a focus on interoperability, Elastic Path offers the most open, secure, and extensible way for businesses to future-proof their digital platforms and respond easily to market changes, consumer preferences, and new technologies, according to the company.
In a recent trend report on commerce technology investment, Forrester Research recommended that commerce suites provide “four foundational pillars” to meet the needs of consumers. These distinct areas are commerce management, experience management, product information management (PIM), and order management (OMS).
Elastic Path for Adobe Marketing Cloud offers commerce and experience management capabilities, and recently the company introduced two new Extended Commerce solutions that provide key product information and order management functionality:
“In today's competitive environment for digital marketers, customers tell us that they want focused, best-of-breed software designed to interoperate in a multi-vendor IT environment, not the illusion of a locked-in, single stack platform,” said Matt Dion, Vice President of Marketing at Elastic Path. “Elastic Path has innovation, integration, and interoperability at its core, so together with our partners we can easily go toe-to-toe with any standalone legacy suite. Our solution is comprised of best-of-breed products that together gives companies everything they need to serve today's empowered consumers.”
Enhanced Commerce for Adobe Marketing Cloud
Elastic Path for Adobe Marketing Cloud is optimized for use with the latest version of Adobe Experience Manager, and adds numerous ecommerce features to Adobe Marketing Cloud, including:
Elastic Path for Adobe Marketing Cloud was built from the ground up to use Adobe Experience Manager as its frontend. This allows marketers to use Adobe Target, Adobe Campaign, Adobe Analytics, and other Adobe solutions to create, manage, and optimize customer experiences with completely integrated ecommerce functionality - such as testing and personalizing individual prices, or seamlessly adding a purchase flow to content marketing sites.
