Speed Matters for Magento Integrated SAP B2B eCommerce Websites

July 31, 2012 - PRLog -- According to b2b2dot0 CEO, Sam Bayer, “We at b2b2dot0 take this speed for granted.  But it’s UNHEARD of in the industry!!!  No one else can, nor are they incentivized, to finish projects quickly.”
According to Bayer, the company pushes for quick projects for several reasons:
1. Don’t leave value in the conference room – every day that a website isn’t in production is another day of inefficiencies in customer service and frustrated customers.  Better to reap some value than no value at all!
2. “Perfection is the enemy of the good” – Scope creep will kill a project.  The longer a project is in development, the more people will seek perfection…try and solve that obscure use case, tweak that error message 18 times etc.
3. Websites should be complete but they are never done – You will always be evolving the website.  Always.  Might as well get into the habit right away by putting something out there and going right into the rhythm of planning and executing the next release.
4. Gain momentum – Every organization needs a morale booster.  Launching a website quickly…and getting the positive feedback from your customers…will nourish clients for the journey ahead.
5. Less blah blah blah – more action!  I hate talking about what we should do, how we’re going to do it, what it should look like.  Got a problem with the way something is behaving?  Fix it now!  Not important enough to deal with it right away?  Let’s not get distracted by talking about it and let’s focus on something that is important to our Go live.

Focusing on Core Competencies
Bayer also noted that, “All of our clients have made a conscious decision to focus on their core competencies...manufacturing...and the support thereof. They do not want to become eCommerce technology gurus.”  The "modern day" IT Executive is more concerned with delivering real value to their customers and maintaining organizational agility than growing the number of software developers in their organization.
