...The new tool, built for the Oracle Public Cloud, is part of Oracle's Customer Experience (CX) applications portfolio. "It's rare that a retailer just wants to discuss commerce by itself," Ian Davis, senior director of product management for Oracle Commerce, told Chain Store Age.

Pre-integrated core commerce features include search / navigation, recommendations, promotions, reporting, payments, design templates and SEO. A unified experience management console enables catalog, content, design and merchandising management. Responsive design and HTML5 user interfaces let users build additional functionality or develop integrations that connect Commerce Cloud with other systems while also allowing consumption for third-party development efforts.

New York University marketing professor Scott Galloway makes a strong case that pure-play retailers, whether just brick-and-mortar or just e-commerce, are doomed. He predicts that Amazon will stumble as stores beef up their e-commerce and especially their fulfillment options. Others don't buy that, saying that Amazon is in many ways as special as Jeff Bezos seems to think it is. "I disagree," writes Oracle's David Dorf in his Commerce Anywhere blog of Galloway's assertions. "Not because the logic is flawed, but rather because Amazon is not a typical retailer. I believe they could be profitable if they wanted to but instead choose to continue investing in widening their competitive moat. Not only is their retail business state-of-the-art, but their investments in AWS, tablets, payments, IoT, etc. are complementary, and help to diversify the business (yes, they can do both). Amazon is not your typical pure-play."
