What do the strangler fig and software systems have in common?

Using monoliths and allowing the future to flourish

SAP Commerce, formerly known as Hybris, has established itself as one of the leading ERP and back-office systems, particularly in the area of product data management (PDM). Hybris Product Content Management (PCM) was originally developed to efficiently manage simple product data. The system offers solid functions for categorising and maintaining product information, but was not designed to cover the complex requirements of modern product information management (PIM).

In the context of our specific project work, we are currently realising that we are - once again, you could almost say - experiencing a radical change in the digital transformation. Several aspects stand out here. For our customers, it is no longer just about the management and provision of information, but also about the integration of external stakeholders and the creation of digitally usable content in good quality and structure.

From June 2025, accessibility in the digital space will no longer just be a ‘nice-to-have’, but a legal obligation - at least for many companies. The German Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG) will require B2C companies to make their websites and apps accessible from this date. Even if this regulation does not apply to B2B companies, they should not ignore the issue.

Why change at all? In today's dynamic e-commerce landscape, flexibility is the key to success. Customer needs are constantly changing, new technologies and trends are emerging at a rapid pace and competition is intensifying. To remain successful in this environment, companies need to continuously develop their e-commerce platforms. Many shop operators are faced with the challenge of modernising their e-commerce platforms in order to keep pace with the increasing demands of their customers. However, existing systems are often unable to bring these requirements to market at the required speed.

I recently took part in a discussion about scaling a delivery process for image and video data. A company has the challenge of managing the irregular and sporadic mass delivery and distribution of thousands of product media from different agencies without affecting regular operations for users.

SAP Commerce - Replacement of the Hybris PCM

The end of an era. Now the cat is out of the bag: SAP has cancelled support for its last Commerce version at the end of July 2026. Both market requirements and technical possibilities have continuously evolved in recent years. SAP Commerce, formerly known as SAP Hybris, has helped companies to run their e-commerce business successfully for many years. With the discontinuation of the on-premise versions by SAP, IT decision-makers are now forced to take action.
