It always shows when your store can’t handle the outside pressure anymore and gets limited by the technology. You experience unplanned downtimes. The store can’t cope with the increased traffic. Performance is suffering on all fronts - from the database to the basic page load times. You struggle to get meaningful insights out of your customer data. It takes months to implement functional changes within your store. This makes sprints infinite for your developers, and your marketers and salespeople struggle with long-term planning. You and your customers feel that your business has outgrown the technical solution through lack of features, speed of operations, and quality of content delivery.
All of these things might mean that you should consider switching to a different eCommerce platform. Preferably, the one that is ready to handle your business in the future, not just now. Magento Commerce, formerly Magento Enterprise, is a good choice. And it doesn’t matter if you’re switching from an older Magento version or the Open Source edition, or even looking to try Magento for the first time.
This article will cover some of the basics that you should keep in mind when considering this decision. You’ll find out when is the right time to switch to Magento Commerce, depending on your current business needs and business lifecycle. You’ll also learn about some of the exclusive benefits of Magento and its latest offerings for enterprise clients.
