Project History Hosted storefront linked to a non-JDE ERP
Hidden behind host firewall, hence, limited SEO crawling Low flexibility on changes Poor internal search engine Not mobile enabled
Web customer service and order processing Slowest way to place an order (web order printed and reentered due to
restricted anonymous shopping) Highest cost/order due to manual order processing Inaccurate pricing-no recognition of marketing promotions on the web No payment confirmation- lacked working with credit card authorizations Low quality service- lacked product availability confirmation, order status

Recap of Key Lessons Learned • Importance of real-time Integration between Web Storefront and JD Edwards Order Fulfillment
– Comprehensive JD Edwards integration is a vital enabler for our customer self-service and our same-day shipping strategies (Address Book/Customer Master, Sales Order, Pricing, Inventory, AR)
– Key to obtaining near zero ($0.00) cost web orders– No duplication of data and redundant logic (customers, products, pricing, availability)
• Solution Must Allow for the Leveraging of Current Investments in E-Commerce– Must permit our company and product branding to be respected and easily evolve– Provide options for re-use of current web product content
• Intuitive Customer Collaboration Interface and Ease of Use– “Zero training” customer buying experience– Highly productive dynamic user navigation instead of sequential navigation
• Importance of Rapid Implementation and Deployment– Delivering fast benefits is critical to management support for E-Commerce– Target timetable should deliver results in 60-150 days
