The document provides a comparative analysis of various leading eCommerce software vendors, detailing their general information, suitability for different business sizes, key native features, and the types of merchants using their solutions. It includes specific data about companies such as Oracle, IBM, Demandware, and SAP, covering aspects like revenue, technology, licensing costs, and marketing features. The information is derived from vendor sources, client feedback, and other published documentation, with a disclaimer that the comparison is for informational purposes only.

1. In the next few slides a comparison is made between a few (leading)
eCommerce software vendors. The slides will show general information
about the software vendors, what kind of business and volumes suits the
solution, on what native features the software performs best (five stars is
the highest ranking), and finally which merchants make use of the
solution.
All information is received from either the software vendor company
itself, the feedback from their clients, or other published eCommerce
software comparison documentation.
The eCommerce software comparison is intended only for informational purposes and we cannot accept any responsibility where any
software you select subsequently proves to be unsuitable. For questions and/or remarks please contact me by email at
