Overview of Commerce Server 2006

The next version of Commerce Server, scheduled for release in early 2006, is being developed for enterprises to accelerate and automate the delivery of online services and products to drive revenue growth and reduce operational costs. Microsoft will continue to provide the enterprise scalability and reliability that you have come to rely on. Commerce Server 2006 will build on 10 years experience of combining catalog and customer management, merchandising, and analytics into a flexible business-to-exchange (B2X) sell-side commerce platform.

Find out how your organization can benefit from Commerce Server 2006.

Connected Commerce: An Integrated Demand Chain

Operations will be streamlined and greater service delivered by integrating the demand chain. Specifically, Commerce Server 2006 will help enterprises:

•	Connect seamlessly to internal and partner applications and systems like Service Advertising Protocol (SAP), MBS, JD Edwards, and others through Microsoft BizTalk Server adapters. Commerce Server 2006 will also provide profile, order, inventory, and catalog subsystem adapters for BizTalk Server to accelerate and automate the delivery of products and services.
•	Manage and share business data through industry-standard Web Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Extensible Markup Language (XML) protocols. All core subsystems will be Web-service enabled to facilitate business data management and updates.
•	Provide customers and partners with Web-based self service through access to order status and inventory availability, wish lists, and order change management.
•	Exchange and aggregate product catalog information from across your business and from trading partners to present expanded product and service line offerings.

 

Fast Time to Market: The Right Tools to Accelerate the Delivery of New Offerings to Market

Setup, development, management, and administration tasks will be simplified with high-performance, familiar management tools for IT and business users. Specifically, Commerce Server 2006 will help enterprises:

•	Jumpstart development with a feature-rich starter site that provides developers a starting point to accelerate the creation and customization of a production quality solution.
•	Develop solutions more quickly with an integrated development environment through Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Integration with Visual Studio 2005 and the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 will reduce the coding needed to customize commerce solutions for your organization.
•	Quickly modify the packaged merchandising, catalog, and analytics functionality to match the way you do business with a comprehensive but extensible commerce platform that provides a consistent set of data management .NET application programming interfaces (APIs).
•	Automate the distribution and movement of data and sites across multiple environments with site staging and replication.
•	Take advantage of new deployment and configuration tools that simplify the implementation of secure commerce solutions. Commerce Server 2006 will support the Windows Server 2003 Security Configuration Wizard to enable quick and easy configuration of servers running on the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system.
•	Save time and reduce costs by using familiar Microsoft Windows GUI–based business user tools for merchandise, marketing, and customer order management. Commerce Server 2006 will have new, high performance, scalable applications that will enable business people to manage their online merchandising without assistance from IT staff.

 

Integrated Innovation: Delivering Value Through Microsoft Windows Server System Integration

You will get more value from your existing IT investments using Commerce Server 2006 as an integral part of the Microsoft Windows Server System. Specifically, Commerce Server 2006 will help you:

•	Expand business visibility across your channels with SQL Server Reporting Services, which will be included in Commerce Server 2006 as the reporting interface. To help improve the effectiveness of your online channel, online commerce reports will be provided in the box. You will also be able to create customized reports.
•	Reduce server management and training requirements with Windows-based management tools, including Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM).
•	Take advantage of the increased performance provided by 64-bit with support for SQL Server 2005 64-bit and with a native 64-bit version of Commerce Server 2006.

Prepare your infrastructure for fully connected commerce that will integrate partners, customers, and systems. For a preview of the business data management experience available today that is the foundation of Commerce Server 2006, you can:
