56 Keeping Commerce Applications Updated WebSphere Commerce 5.1 to 5.6 Migration Guide
4.1 Commerce application
CarrotInk.com is an Internet-based retailer of inkjet printer cartridges and
supplies. CarrotInk.com sells after-market and OEM brand printer supplies. The
company supplies as many as 400 individual cartridge types, supporting
thousands of different printer models. Before migrating to WebSphere
Commerce Suite V5.1, the original site contained more than 800 static HTML
pages. The pages were managed manually and the need to upgrade to a new
system became prevalent.
Carrot Ink needed a solution that would provide easy maintenance of the product
catalog and Web site design. Another issue was that customers could not
register with the site and store billing and shipping information, therefore no order
history was provided to the customer.
The solution was to migrate the existing site to WebSphere Commerce Suite
V5.1. The products catalog is now easier to update, the site look and feel is
easier to update, and the performance of the site is excellent. Back-end
integration has been facilitated, helping Carrot Ink to process and fulfill more
orders.
This section gives an overview of the application environment of the commerce
application.
