Why a platform-switch is a game-changer

Consider this: A few years back, your smartphone was cutting-edge. Fast forward to today, and essential apps are disappearing, security updates are rare, and your expectations from a device have evolved – making an upgrade inevitable. 

"Our industry does not respect tradition. It only respects innovation." - Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft 

🎯 The challenges

Rising customer expectations, emerging technologies, and stringent cyber security demands pose significant challenges for online retailers.  Systems that fail to scale efficiently or adapt to changing needs quickly fall behind, leading to lost revenue and a declining customer base. With the growing relevance on cyber security and data protection, outdated security features or the absence of updates signal a pressing need for change. When security vulnerabilities in your existing shop system can't be easily addressed, it is a clear signal for action. And let us not to overlook the rising costs for maintenance and licenses, which do not justify the retailers' high effort to run the business. If these challenges resonate, it is time for action.
