Extended Sites

WebSphere Commerce Enterprise Edition comes with a unique built-in capability called extended sites or micro-sites which takes a B2B or B2C site and extends the sales model. Each micro-site can focus on a specific market strategy for a brand, company division, geographic region or customer. Each site can have a unique UI and business rules (payment, pricing, shipping), then share common webstore assets like the master product catalog.  Having one copy of your store data in a single location and shared by hundreds of micro-sites, promotes quick and cost-effective site management, as well as reduced hardware, software and maintenance costs.

BENEFITS

• Share digital assets - duplication costs are greatly minimized
• Earnings increase - reduce capital and operational costs as outlined above
• Operational costs reduced - fewer website operations to manage and support
• Control - centralized control over brand, product integrity, sales execution
• Reduce infrastructure costs - consolidate webstores  under a single platform
