Blueport Commerce approaches technology with the wisdom of maturity. The Blueport technology team has experience in the e-commerce space dating back to the 1990s and has experienced firsthand the full panoply of technology hype from that era and since. With this experience we conservatively maintain loyalty to cost effective e-commerce applications while aggressively adopting proven new technologies.
Our core infrastructure is based on products from Microsoft, Adobe, HP, Cisco, F5, and Akamai. We utilize Microsoft’s .Net software development platform and SQL Server database engine as the foundation for our proprietary e-commerce platform. Visually engaging client side e-commerce applications are built with Adobe Flash. We implement secure connectivity with a range of Cisco IOS products. Our server farms are principally made up of HP servers running Microsoft Windows. We manage demand for our client web portals with F5 load balancers. Akamai provides us with geographic edge caching of content. None of these technology partners were born after Y2K but all are excellent with proven staying power.
Our e-commerce platform, shared by all of our clients, represents 10 years of evolution shaped by the unique requirements of “big ticket” e-commerce - from local branding, regional product availability, regional pricing and sale events, coupons, consumer financing, variable lead times, and the CRM and CMS systems to support them. With this library of processes and functionalities available to us, we can focus on the unique requirements of our clients rather than reinventing these complex processes or trying to repurpose an “off the shelf” e-commerce platform designed for simpler transactions.
Our custom platform can also adapt easily to partner systems. The long service technologies making up our core have naturally evolved integration pathways with most other competitive products. We leverage these to work freely with partner systems rooted in Oracle, IBM, and other, less well known companies.
