Migrating iStore to Oracle Commerce Cloud
Are you already using Oracle iStore for your organization’s online presence and wanting to grow your online presence? With Oracle Commerce Cloud, you can build a flexible, feature-rich storefront and get to market fast, with an acknowledged, trusted partner managing the technology and infrastructure that keep your business running.
Since 2001, iBizSoft team has implemented 200+ eCommerce sites using Oracle iStore, on-premise eCommerce product that’s integrated with more than 20+ Oracle E-Business modules such as Order Management, Inventory, Pricing and many others.
With the advent of Cloud and with plenty of Oracle Cloud related applications, iBizSoft realized the need to assist their existing Oracle iStore customers to Oracle Commerce Cloud without affecting their current online presence, at the same time getting the best experience when using a Cloud application. With Oracle Commerce Cloud, integration to Oracle E-Business Suite modules is possible via Oracle’s PaaS services (Platform as a Service), which also means customers are not going to loose out on the tight integrations provided by Oracle iStore (with Oracle EBS).

Additionally by migrating from the archaic Oracle iStore to OCC, we found the following advantages
By default we got a responsive commerce experience for both B2C and B2B, when we had to ensure Oracle iStore is responsive by customizing the pages
All your current business functionalities can be migrated when you have the correct Oracle Partner who understands the various nuances of Oracle iStore and Oracle Commerce Cloud
Since Oracle iStore is fully integrated with Oracle E-Business Suite modules you will need an Oracle Partner who understand Oracle EBS modules as well, and ensure when you migrated to OCC it is able to send all the information to Oracle EBS to complete the Order to Cash flow.
Definitely a reduced cost to maintain the eCommerce storefront in the long run as Oracle iStore required a minimum of 3 resources – Designer, Developer who understands JSP + Java and a DBA to ensure the site is up and running. OCC storefront can be managed by just 1 resource who has good knowledge of Knockout JS and some administrative tools of OCC.
Oracle Commerce Cloud has everything you need to grow your online business today and in the future compared to the archaic Oracle iStore technologies like JSP + Java.
