No longer sinking money into a bespoke hosted application meant daily activities was not about keeping the system online. Now we can think big!
Their E-commerce website reached a critical level of performance failures, that was costing the business 100’s of thousands in sales with ever increasing operating costs, to maintain their online website. Our client reached out to us to help them explore a new platform. RANDEM helped the retailer to build a business case that supported their Business Architecture’s need and the desired business strategy and financial outcome over the next 36 months. Multiple platforms were measured and ranked in a user requirements focussed workshop led by RANDEM, (including their incumbent solution Magento) against a set of client-driven business requirements, and BigCommerce Enterprise ranked the best solution for our client.

Should I choose a SaaS platform?
Choosing an e-commerce platform is one of the most important strategic decisions you’ll make for your business. From your site’s load time, your growth potential to your employee headcount, your choice of e-commerce platform affects much more than just your monthly payment.
One of the most fundamental platforms decisions mid-market and large merchants have to make is whether to leverage a SaaS platform.
For online merchants, the choice between SaaS and on-premise is not terribly difficult. SaaS e-commerce platforms are not only more cost-effective, they save time, complexity, headcount and a great deal of uncertainty.
What to ask yourself?
If you’re reading this and you are at that decision process, here are a few questions you’re probably asking.
Which platform is...
- More cost-effective?
- Easiest to integrate with our other business systems?
- Easier to customise for my brand?
- More scalable as my company grows?
- Easier to update, maintain and keep PCI secure?
- Fast to implement?
