Why Executives Choose SAP Hybris  Commerce Cloud

See the list of reasons why more and more executives are choosing SAP Hybris Commerce Cloud.

1. A Private Cloud Tailored to You Our private cloud solution offers the best of both worlds - the low cost and quick time to market of the cloud combined with the flexibility and customization that you get with an on-premise option. Like other cloud solutions, you pay through a subscription based pricing model that is designed to suit companies of all sizes. But unlike your average public cloud solution, SAP Hybris Commerce Cloud provides you with the full capability to customize, extend, and integrate as needed to meet your unique business requirements and separate yourself from your competition. So you don’t have to sacrifice functionality or flexibility to go to the cloud. SAP Hybris Commerce Cloud features Accelerators, our starter omni-channel reference solutions with various storefront templates. They speed up implementation and drastically reduce your time to value. Available industry-specific Accelerators include capabilities for B2C, B2B, Telecommunications, Travel, and Public Sector organizations. With these Accelerators, your commerce sites will come pre-stocked with industry-specific capabilities without extensive customization needed.

With SAP Hybris Commerce Cloud, you have complete flexibility and control of the timing and pace of upgrades. Instead of the vendor arbitrarily deciding when to upgrade, you decide which new releases you want and when to apply them to your deployment for maximum impact. As a cloud vendor, security is of the highest importance for us. SAP Hybris Commerce Cloud includes secured cloud application network architecture, firewall, intrusion detection and prevention, VPN connectivity, as well as security and change management policies. SAP Hybris Commerce Cloud also complies with PCI-DSS and EUDP (European Union Data Privacy) regulations and guidelines. Moreover, we actively monitor our systems with the security information and event management, which includes proactive threat and fraud detection, dynamic patterns that allow for detection of any network, user and application anomalies. Annie Selke, a specialty retailer in rugs, bedding and furniture, wanted to combine their separate websites onto a single platform to simplify messaging and maximize sales. SAP Hybris Commerce Cloud enables them to achieve all of these goals and boost their retail revenue by 82%, with an impressive 94% increase in wholesale online revenue. The results have far exceeded their expectations.

2. Game-changing Innovation for B2C and B2B Omni-Channel Commerce The SAP Hybris Commerce Cloud gives you all the omni-channel commerce capabilities of the marketleading SAP Hybris Commerce platform in a world-class private cloud. Our solution offers a full set of omnichannel commerce capabilities, built on a single stack, including product content management, web content and customer experience management, merchandising tools, and a native integration to other SAP Hybris cloud solutions, like SAP Hybris Service Cloud, and SAP Hybris Marketing Cloud. SAP Hybris Commerce Cloud has a customer-centric approach to channel integration that empowers you to deliver contextually tailored, relevant customer experiences that boost loyalty and increases sales. And you get these capabilities all on a single technology stack, without the need for costly custom integrations. SAP Hybris Commerce Cloud enables you to script and deliver unique customer experiences on all touchpoints. Let your customers choose to order online and pick up in-store, or order in the physical store and request home delivery. By engaging your customers from touchpoint to touchpoint, you build differentiation, stickiness, and ultimately their business. And our open and standardized APIs and microservices based on SAP Hybris as a Service (YaaS) allow you to drive innovation and thrive in the digital era.

3. Easy Integration At SAP Hybris, we know that integration costs usually represent more than 30% of the total project cost.

SAP Hybris Commerce Cloud ensures a single source of truth for your entire product content. And most importantly, our integration tools scale independently from the Commerce platform, which means integration do not degrade the performance of your commerce system. The Annie Selke Companies selected SAP Hybris Commerce Cloud for two key reasons: It was easier to integrate with existing architecture and offered broader functionality, including advanced personalization.
