Oracle Retail on 14 Oct 14...A good example of a core project Wolfe started was the re-architecture of the company's front-end Oracle ATG e-commerce platform to the Amazon Web Service (AWS) public cloud. This was key to enhancing customer experience across Shop Direct's retail websites, with availability the main area of focus. The retailer's entire e-commerce infrastructure now sits on the cloud - including ATG and Oracle's enterprise data discovery platform Endeca, as well as the AWS-provided Elastic Load Balancing and Relational Database services, which now support Shop Direct's database. "The migration was a good example of that drive to get service under control, and since our shop is always open, availability is critical to us and therefore the first thing to tackle," says Wolfe.
