Ecosystem involved detailed due diligence. Demandware emerged as a
compelling choice for n2N's platform based on three key evaluation
criteria:

flow eCommerce enhancements and improvements without disruption to
customers.

architecture allows n2N to implement advanced features in the n2N
platform that integrate into the eCommerce channel.

and Reliability -- Extensive tests established Demandware's capability
to handle the stresses of the large multi-channel retailers n2N will be
serving.
"As eCommerce continues to advance daily, retailers and their service
providers must look for new and more effective ways to differentiate,"
said Stephan Schambach, founder and chairman of Demandware. "By
selecting Demandware's on-demand ecommerce platform, n2N has positioned
itself to differentiate its solution in a constantly changing
marketplace."
