Since the release of IBM WebSphere Commerce V9, companies are discovering how it offers an innovative and fundamentally different approach to supporting more unique customer experience. And now, it’s all possible at a velocity not previously achievable. If you sell directly to other businesses, we show you how this version can support the business relationships with those you sell to and service. If you operate in retail and sell to consumers, we show you how you can develop and deploy personalized experiences that engage your customers during those influential moments of their purchasing and service lifecycle.
