Next-generation commerce is more than just the purchase transaction. It delivers a seamless experience across channels, even IoT devices. Most important, it focuses on continuing the customer conversation throughout the end-to-end experience. In this session, Jill Finger Gibson, DCG Principal Analyst, and Nate Barad, Sitecore Senior Director Product Marketing, discuss people, processes, and technologies for next-generation commerce.

Jill and Nate use the manufacturing sector as a specific example. More and more, manufacturers are going directly to end-buyers, be they consumers or businesses, rather than just being wholesalers to retail outlets. How are companies doing this, and what are the key challenges? Other topics include:

  • What is “next-generation” commerce? What makes it different from earlier generations?
  • What are the drivers for B2B versus B2C? Or are they the same?
  • For companies without in-house expertise, what’s required to move to next-generation commerce? What should they look for in a partner?

For additional analysis, download Jill’s popular report, A Brand Manufacturer’s Guide to Direct-to-Consumer e-Commerce. She introduces the paper in this post.
