New Forrester Wave Finds That Midmarket Companies Want Enterprise Features At A Small Business Price · Forrester

New Forrester Wave Finds That Midmarket Companies Want Enterprise Features At A Small Business Price · Forrester | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

"Today’s midsize B2B firms are looking for data-driven, enterprise-quality commerce technology at a small-business price that supports:

  • Full-spectrum selling. B2B customers today interchangeably use both self-serve and full-service buying options. Midmarket B2B sellers must operate solutions that meet the idiosyncratic needs of business customers who often prefer to buy without talking to sales reps, but who also may consult with sales reps for more complex and involved purchases.
  • Personalized digital commerce experiences. Personalization is as critical for midmarket B2B companies as it is for enterprise B2B companies. Commerce suites personalize the buying experience for midmarket B2B customers by controlling the front-end experience or by managing the customer data that fuels personalization.
  • Agility and fast time-to-market. Customers need agility and faster TTM from their platforms, which means that years-long implementations and heavy-IT-footprint solutions are becoming obsolete. Midmarket B2B companies now insist that their commerce solutions have cloud-based, service-oriented architectures that operate in a more modern and modular environment."
Marteq's insight:

The headline applies to anything. However, the report (which you can access via the adjacent link) specifically covers B2B Commerce, and I don't know how a vendor can offer less-than-ideal features when it comes to Ecommerce.

  • A sense of “transform or die” creates a rush to implement without proper communication. 
  • Attempts to use e-commerce solutions primarily built for B2C to power vastly different B2B commerce processes. 
  • Enterprise applications are often ill-equipped to provide the right B2B digital experience. 
  • Finally, we’re seeing a rise in e-commerce environments that contain a mashup of individual applications as B2B companies try to solve specific needs one by one.

5 Strategies for Better B2B Ecommerce - Chiefmarketer

5 Strategies for Better B2B Ecommerce - Chiefmarketer | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
1. Enrich the commercial process. By expanding upon the traditional shopping cart approach, B2B ecommerce solutions consider speed and quality throughout the end-to-end commercial process, allowing businesses to reduce the amount of time spent on menial tasks, and offer customers information in a more convenient and comprehensive way.

2.  Enable interactions first; transactions second. Enabling an interaction produces value that enabling a transaction cannot. Identifying the right product specifications and commercial components for a customer, for instance, requires consultation beyond what’s found in a standard FAQ section or within user reviews.

3. Reducing complexity is more important than gathering information. When it comes to making a decision between collecting data about customers and keeping it simple for them, B2B businesses must choose in favor of keeping simplicity first and gathering information second. This decision manifests in the real world often when it comes to offering customers and prospects gated content in exchange for contact information.

4. Differentiate by providing information resources to partners and customers. Many B2B businesses have the opportunity to deliver more value by providing more information such as maintenance and service records, contract and correspondence history, information about customer installations, product roadmaps, and lead time.

5. Evolve your offering to engage the market in ways you previously could not. In a B2B setting, similar benefits can be achieved by making a simple portion of the overall offering available as a “starter” or “entry level offer” for prospective customers. Current customers may value an option of buying simple product extensions or contract renewals online. The efficiency of these simple on line transactions is a benefit to both the B2B business and to its customers.
Marteq's insight:

B2B Ecommerce is here in a big way...and it's one of the 2017-18 focal points for marketers.

Salesforce Enters E-Commerce Fray - WSJ

Salesforce Enters E-Commerce Fray - WSJ | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
Salesforce.com Inc. on Tuesday introduced a new e-commerce service based on its $2.8 billion acquisition of Demandware Inc. in July. The Salesforce Commerce Cloud is intended to help customers set up online storefronts and in-store tablets and kiosks, adding commerce functions to the company’s portfolio of software delivered as a service over the internet.

Salesforce will need to adapt Demandware’s software to accommodate sales from one business to another, said Gene Alvarez, managing vice president at Gartner. For instance, the new service will need to tie in to corporate procurement and purchase order systems, he said. It doesn't yet have these features.

By 2020, the U.S. business-to-business digital commerce market is expected to top $1.1 trillion from $780 billion in 2015, a compound annual growth rate of 7.7%, according to Forrester Research.

One of the scariest and most necessary changes a growing eCommerce company experiences is the dreaded replatform and the subsequent migration. You know, transferring all of your products and existing information from your old eCommerce platform to a new solution.
