Ecommerce teams struggle with how to approach selecting the best-fit ecommerce platform and other technology that will make up their platform ecosystem. There are so many variables that it’s hard to know where to start. This is where Digital Juggler helps; my approach ensures we focus on your unique requirements and apply our tried & tested framework. Our starting point is that no technology is ever 100% perfect for any business, so your vendor selection decision requires us to assess the relative pros and cons of suitable vendors.

A lack of attention to detail during ecommerce platform selection will result in your platform failing to satisfy business needs, which has the following impact:
I’ll help you understand what resources you need, define a clear RACI to map roles & responsibilities and get the fundamentals of good project governance defined and implemented.
As a starting point, it’s essential you have Board level sponsorship to ensure your project is effectively supported throughout its lifecycle.
My proven platform selection framework ensures you get the right focus. I’m on your side – I want your project to be a huge success, so my experience and energy will help motivate your team.
Below is an outline of the 10-step process that will guide you through the challenges of project set-up, market evaluation and ecommerce vendor selection.
The primary focus when considering a new ecommerce platform is to select the best-fit vendor. Once you have a recommended vendor, you can then evaluate SI implementation partners, if one is required.
Depending on the size and complexity of your project, it sometimes pays to invite vendors to involve a leading SI partner in the vendor selection phase; SIs have experience in delivering multiple projects and can help answer any detailed technical implementation questions, as well as help provide a realistic cost model.
