Rapid Commerce: A Microservices Commerce Platform

The retail industry is currently going through massive change and retailers need to understand how to move to a modern architecture that supports their future business needs. Publicis.Sapient is offering a rapid 8-day assessment workshop to enable retailers to define this path forward.

The Rapid Commerce assessment will leverage prior knowledge, tools, and templates to do the evaluation. We believe in using insight from actual practical experience, and not theory, to quickly enable large retailers to understand the roadmap to a modern commerce platform. This process is based on how to leverage the very latest microservices, headless architecture and enables DevOps techniques to get the platform deployed faster and with higher quality.

Retailers learn how to move to a better customer experience: the microservices, headless architecture enables quick upgrades to the latest consumer channels such as chat, voice or conversational commerce.

Mobile and cloud-first: the mobile-first approach provides a great customer experience and better business results. Cost-effective scalability: the native Azure cloud platform enables deployment at scale, and flexibility to handle massive traffic demands.
