Valtech and commercetools

The pace of change in our industry has always been remarkable, but in the midst of continuous change and innovation, there have always been key moments that make everyone stop and think a little harder. The shift to a composable architecture as standard, is one of those major moments.

Many of our clients are looking for agility and the ability to pivot businesses in response to the disruption impacting us today and those that none of us can predict in the future. 

The composable architecture approach enables this agility. It requires a shift in mindset and a new form of architecture ownership. As a global leader in Retail and omni-commerce solutions, Valtech is powered by more than 400 e-commerce experts, and together with commercetools will bring you the next gen e-commerce experience.

From our perspective, it's all about partners. ... On the one hand, not every company can build their own commerce platform, and with commercetools, I would even argue that nobody has to because we provide you something where you can build your own platform, but you don't need to rebuild commodoty functionality. ... On the other hand, you probably don't have the experience of 100+ enterprise projects and their pitfalls. And maybe you don't have the capacity to deliver on time and in quality. ... So it's building together, building together with the vendors you're selecting, building together with the partners or the agency that you're selecting. You own the archetecture and technology, but you're able to move fast.
