Hi All -
I'm new to Interchange, and am evaluating it as a commerce platform for
my company. I had a few general questions that I'd through out to the
list & see if anyone had any input.
* How scalable is Interchange? Has it been used in production with
20,000 - 30,000 products? How'd it perform?
* How customizable/extendable is Interchange? How difficult is it to
add new ITL tags? Create a library of templates that customers can
select from? Add new payment processors? Integrate with other web
services (particularly J2EE services)?
* What are Interchange's weak spots?
What I'm looking for is a little advocacy. So far, I've been really
impressed, but would like to know what issues I'm likely to run into
should we commit to the product.
One other question - as I was scanning the lists, I noticed that RedHat
disbanded it's ecommerce division (& active support of Interchange) this
last summer. Why? Were there issues with Interchange specifically?
Did they find a replacement they liked better? General business climate?
Thanks in advance for any input!
