Companies seeking hosted e-commerce services will find many different providers and products. So, to make good purchasing decisions, business and IT managers must first establish clear goals for their online stores, Gartner said Wednesday.
Once companies have identified the requirements for carrying out their e-commerce strategies, they can then properly evaluate the different SaaS (software-as-a-service) vendors and offerings on the market.
Gartner is issuing this advice in the recently published study “SaaS Impact on E-Commerce” after finding that, by 2013, 90 percent of e-commerce sites will subscribe to at least one such service.
