Magento or osCommerce – Which One You Select?

Monday, January 16th, 2012

Having confusion about selecting an e-commerce application? Are you thinking that which one will fulfill your business requirements – osCommerce or Magento! Both are open-source software. We all know that both are the good and stable e-commerce solution. But, it is very essential to select the appropriate one, so that we can achieve success in e-commerce.

osCommerce helps you to manage your online-store effectively and properly. It is easy to install but it is quite difficult task to customize and configure. The web server must support fast MySQL database and PHP web scripting language these are the basic requirement for running an osCommerce website.

Magento needs no introduction. An ample arrangement of the unlimited features of Magento are beneficial to eCommerce website. Magento provides you an extended and powerful implementation to create and manage your online store. MySQL/Apache/PHP are servers on which Magento can run. Magento application comes with commercial-level features, functionality and quality. You will have entire control on your Magento website.

Points that makes Magento superior than osCommerce:

* osCommerce is known for its easy installation. Magento is known for its customization, scalability and configuration.

* Easy installation is qualitative point of osCommerce, whereas good Scalability, configuration and customization are notable features of Magento.

* Features like CMS, not only includes all osCommerce’s features but in addition to that Magento also contain various other add-on modules.

* Back-end system of Magento is well organized and its structure is clean and clear therefore it is mostly appreciated as compared to osCommerce.

* osCommerce do not provide for multiple-store. But, Magento cart supports for it.

* Magento has default SEO tools for Meta tags and URLs, but osCommerce doesn’t.

* Magento application is highly appreciated by its users as compared to osCommerce because of its organized back-end system and clear structure.

* Magento uses Model View Controller (MVC) framework that makes development and extension manageable, on the other hand, osCommerce is not using MVC and is not modular, therefore, scalability and maintenance becomes an issue.

Magento software is highly layered and therefore it needs more time to learn and understand. For small business sites having limited products, osCommerce will be appropriate eCommerce solution. But large and complex business sites, having large number of products may go for Magento cart. Hence, you have to make choice between these two, keeping in mind, all your business requirements.

Offshore Outsourcing Strategy – Things to Consider

Monday, March 15th, 2010

The reason why many people do not have an outsourcing strategy is because many do not know what it really involves. Offshore outsourcing occurs when a business or individual contracts an offshore provider in order to perform some of their business tasks. Very simply, it involves hiring someone not part of your business to do tasks that require specialized skills or are not cost effective to do in-house. The question that often arises is why do you need an outsourcing strategy?

While offshore outsourcing had many benefits, there is always the chance that it can go terribly wrong. There is a right way and a wrong way to do offshore outsourcing. Contracting an offshore provider can have many problems. For instance, if the offshore provider you hire is not really competent, you will not get your money’s worth and the outcome can have other long term implications on your delivery capabilities. If you do not know how much to pay for outsourced tasks you might end up paying too much and make a loss in the process. These are just two simple instances to demonstrate why an offshore outsourcing strategy is needed.

It is important to understand that planning offshore outsourcing can help you a lot. If you spend a little time on proper planning your outsourcing strategy can help you benefit from both cost and time savings at the end of the outsourced projects.

The real problem is thinking about how to prepare a proper offshore outsourcing strategy. There is no “one size fits all” solution to this question because every business has different needs. For example, a business might need to repair a broken database. In this instance the requirement is to seek a computer specialist that is experienced with MySQL or whatever database needs fixing. Another business may need work done on their professional website design. In this case the company needs to contract freelancers who can write content, prepare graphics and have knowledge of HTML. What this means is that you need to know what you are looking for. This is exactly the reason why you require an offshore outsourcing strategy.

Contrary to popular thinking, at times it is difficult to outsource properly. You will have to accept the truth that in most cases your first attempts at offshore outsourcing will not generate the kind of results that you desire. Your goal should be to first learn the proper offshore outsourcing strategy required to contract the right talent available from the virtual pool.
