This document discusses integrating e-commerce capabilities into a content management system. It describes Hybris as a full-featured e-commerce platform but also notes advantages of integrating it with Magnolia CMS instead of using Hybris's built-in CMS. Key benefits of the Magnolia integration include easier implementation, richer feature set from Magnolia, and avoiding the need for two separate systems. The document shares a case study of a company that chose to integrate Hybris and Magnolia for an online B2B platform to meet a tight deadline while gaining flexibility.
