Built on the foundations of composable commerce, the Unplatform™ is a flexible approach that empowers teams to solve business challenges, one at a time - no painful replatform required.
What's the difference between Unplatforming and Replatforming?
Replatforming is a technology project in which you replace your entire platform. It's long, expensive, and arduous. 70% of replatforming projects are abandoned, and the business value of replatforming is only clear once your entire solution has been overhauled.
Unplatforming is a business project that leverages modular, composable products to solve specific commerce challenges, piece-by-piece, as required by the business. Unplatforming is less costly and lengthy, as you deploy and measure the impact of individual components before making new additions. Unplatforming is about testing and optimizing your commerce solution over time, and driving growth and business value, fast.
The Unplatform is made up of modular products and a connective framework. The result is total commerce flexibility and a cohesive, high-performing solution that drives conversions and revenue.
Our modular, de-coupled products mean you can solve business challenges piece-by-piece and scale over time.
