Enterprise Ecommerce Solutions

From , former About.com Guide

Ecommerce solutions for the Enterprise are designed for large retailers that must handle a substantial number of transactions. The application must be scalable to meet the needs of a growing organization, which typically involves multiple users working in different departments, and sometimes locations. The level of security, hosting, and support requirements for such an application are significantly more complex than those required by a standalone Ecommerce application.
