A company with four live storefronts is migrating off SAP Commerce due to its tightly coupled architecture, which prevents a phased migration and necessitates a risky "big bang" cutover.

Make the catalog, price, inventory, order, and customer flows explicit, put versioned contracts around the shared services, and make consumers idempotent so replay and reconciliation are routine.

      "[post] So any migration approach that requires a hard cutover date where everything moves at once is a non-starter, and the traditional SAP migration path is structured around exactly that, since the customization layer on top of the core is tightly coupled enough that you can't migrate a single storefront independently without decoupling a lot of shared services first."
