How eCommerce Projects are different from other IT projects

• Relatively low cost with high business impact and ROI compared to other IT or marketing projects
• Visibility due to revenue and brand impact, if things don’t look right, it’s not just obvious to your IT staff – visible to competitors, executives, customers etc.
• Face direct competition from similar applications with peer companies
• Potentially very complex architecture
  • Need to ensure scalability, security of transactions and data, fault tolerance aspects
  • Need to integrate with specialized products and 3rd party sites/services
  • Need to integrate with existing legacy systems
  • Requires cross channel Support ( Web, Online, In Store etc)
• High rate of continuous evolution — “ecommerce is like constructing a ship while it’s at sea” due to continual innovation in the industry
• High production support requirements
