“Companies looking to adopt Unified Commerce need to look closely at the foundation of their operations, specifically at the systems that support operations. Consolidating order management is only a small piece of the Unified Commerce puzzle. The key component to Unified Commerce is a centralized system that encompasses merchandising, order management, order fulfillment, accounting, and reporting. SAP calls this the live digital core. If you are running SAP ERP (ECC or S/4HANA) then you already have the foundation in place for Unified Commerce. It is your existing live digital core. If you are not running SAP ERP and you are looking to realize Unified Commerce for your organization, then you should put SAP S/4HANA at the top of your list of technologies to consider.”
