Updateability of Intershop 7
Mister Spex has been using the eCommerce software Intershop Commerce Suite for its online shops for many years. Migrations to the latest updates are essential to keep the software up to date with the latest features. At a workshop on "Smart Migration Developer Rules for Fast Intershop 7 Updates," Smart Commerce presented Mister Spex developers an efficient update strategy with Intershop 7, provided a guideline for easy updatability, and set out important rules for developers, tools, and APIs. In addition to an in-depth knowledge of the technologies used and hints on the correct implementation of migration, the workshop also developed the correct migration strategy.
Smart Commerce ensures at these workshops that updates for customer projects do not degenerate into huge, expensive projects, but can be implemented within a manageable framework. Guidelines are used to ensure that in-house developments based on Intershop Commerce Suite can be updated as efficiently as possible. Mister Spex subsequently migrated successfully to Intershop 7.8.
"Smart Commerce's workshop on the updateability of our Intershop Commerce Suite not only showed us how important it is to keep our software "up-to-date" at all times, but also how this is possible with comparatively little effort. And how important it is to keep the developers' knowledge up to date."
