Rising cost of talented SAP resources in your region
SAP Commerce (Hybris)is a highly specialized tech stack, making it difficult to
find skilled talent or vendors. This scarcity drives up hiring costs, especially
since many of the most experienced SAP Commerce professionals are located in
the Americas and Europe.
Pressure to optimize costs for enterprise clients
Another pressing issue is the growing price sensitivity. Clients are demanding
more for less, while simultaneously expecting higher quality and faster delivery.
This creates a challenging balancing act for service providers.
IT vendors can't keep their promise on project quality
Even when you find an affordable IT vendor, they may fail to meet the demanding
quality standards of projects. In SAP projects, quality assurance plays such an
important role. To catch the fast-paced e-commerce landscape, you must have
a strong focus on quality from project inception.

CONTEXT CHALLENGES SOLUTIONS RESULTS
As a global leader in electronics and home appliances, Samsung continuously seeks to
expand its e-commerce presence globally. They set out to integrate their SAP Commerce
(SAP Hybris) with various international e-commerce platforms.
However, the challenge was multifaceted. They included harmonizing Samsung’s
sophisticated tech stack with the eclectic digital architectures of marketplaces like
Amazon, eBay, and Rakuten, while navigating a maze of global compliance standards like
GDPR, and ensuring the scalability to withstand surges in online shopping traffic.
Therefore, BiPlus partnered with an IT service provider in Korea, to help Samsung integrate
and optimize their SAP Hybris. Through innovative architecture and agile collaboration, we
delivered a robust, scalable solution tailored to Samsung’s unique needs.
