E‐commerce turnover in billons of Euros in 2008 Source: iOE Study – E‐commerce report 2008/Fevad/KPMG A recent Forrester1 study showed impressive projections, with growth of 68 billion in online European retails sales in 2009 and up to 114 billion by 2014, representing an increase in average yearly expenditure per household of from €483 to €601 for this same period. It is difficult, then, to ignore this new digital revolution and the associated Open Source solutions which play an ever-more important role. This White Paper proposes an overview of Open Source E-Commerce solutions. We will present a selection of the best tools, and then review the main functions, indicating how each tool performs. In order to select the right tools on which to build an E-Commerce platform, it is important to understand the fundamental concepts of a trading site, we endeavour to explain these concepts in the first part of this White Paper. E-commerce touches upon a wide variety of issues, such as Customer Relations, Business Management, Logistics, Web-marketing, etc. We will not go into each of these issues here, as they are far too vast and specific. 1 http://www.forrester.com/rb/Research/western_european_online_retail_forecast%2C_2009_to/q/id/5543/t/2 © Copyright – Smile - Open Source Solutions – All unauthorised reproduction is strictly forbidden Page 5 E-Commerce, open source solutions [1.3] The benefits of an Open Source Solution Open Source solutions are gaining new ground at an incredible rate year after year in all areas of application. New key players are emerging and there is now a proven logic to the Open Source business model. Solutions are ever-more mature and are now seen as very real alternatives to proprietary solutions. Before focusing on functionality, let’s take a look at the benefits that these Open Source solutions provide. The financial benefits are the most obvious reason for choosing an Open Source solution. While implementing an Open Source solution is never free of all costs, it is a great deal cheaper than implementing a proprietary solution. An Open Source solution can prove up to 5-10 times cheaper to integrate. Services also generally cost less, as the very “open” nature of the product lends itself to knowledge sharing. As solutions reach maturity, however, the cost factor is no longer the most important issue to consider. The main arguments for Open Source solutions are: • The non-dependence or limited dependence, on the editor. We know that changing tools can be very expensive, and editors can be tempted to profit from the ‘golden goose’ of clients who have become captives. This scenario is often referred to as vendor lock-in. • Durability is another strong criterion. Open Source solutions may not quite have a guarantee of “eternal youth”, but the availability of their source code to a community of clients and partners guarantees widespread distribution of the know-how associated with the implementation of these solutions, and as such their development. • The “Open” aspect is also a big issue. Open Source solutions are generally more compliant with standards, and more open to the possibility of adding modules. As regards durability, the worst that can happen with an Open Source solution is that the community can gradually lose interest in the solution, generally in preference of a more promising solution. As such the product may one day need to be replaced, but at least the winding-down process is slow allowing the client ample time to migrate to another solution. It is important to also point out that even if the editor one day winds down, the community remains and can continue working on the product and its evolution, this is the very principle of Open Source solutions. © Copyright – Smile - Open Source Solutions – All unauthorised reproduction is strictly forbidden Page 6 E-Commerce, open source solutions As for the “Open” aspect, while in theory it is essential that the modifications can be made to the source; in practise this can be risky. As such it is not in these terms that the “Open” aspect is of benefit, but in its capacity to accept extensions, and to interface with other applications. An editor with commercial objectives doesn’t always have purely the clients’ best interest at heart. The editor operates in a competitive market so it goes without saying that they want their tool to be better than their competitor’s, but once well- established, the editor may come to the

  • Diffusion and Productivity of an Open Source Software: Cakephp
    Diffusion and Productivity of an Open Source Software: CakePHP Master’s Thesis Author: Anwari Ilman 881206-6473 Supervisor: Dr. Philippe Rouchy Written in partial fulfillment of the requirements for obtaining the degree of Master of Science in Industrial Economics and Management (120 credits) Specialization: Entrepreneurship and Innovation Department of Industrial Economics Blekinge Tekniska Högskola Karlskrona, Sweden January 2015 1 Abstract The purpose of this thesis was to establish an understanding on the productivity of Open Source Software (OSS) developer community through diffusion of innovation. It was empirically ascertained that network effect affects productivity of OSS community, which provide enough justification to view the matter of productivity through the lens of diffusion of innovation. To reach its purpose, this thesis tackled the issue in two ways: 1) It utilized a definition of IT productivity for new technologies that especially deals with Open Source Software (OSS) communities and 2) It proposed tools and methods to perform such studies. A mature OSS project called CakePHP was chosen as a case for this thesis. I compiled time-series data from the software’s source code that accounts for more than 8 years of development. The obtained raw data in a form of ‘commits’ was converted into network graph and time-series productivity data. Then, dynamic network visualization software was employed to analyze the evolution of its network structure. A quantitative regression analysis using Negative Binomial estimator was also employed to estimate the effects of individual work intensity, community work intensity and network effect on its production rate. Visual inspection on CakePHP’s adoption pattern shows that it does indeed follow S- shaped diffusion curve normally found in other innovation life cycle, though yet to complete its life cycle.

  • ! a Web Store Based on Reusable .NET Components
    MÄLARDALENS HÖGSKOLA School of Innovation, Design and Engineering ! A web store based on reusable .NET components By Aftab Baig – [email protected] Iftikhar Ahmad – [email protected] August 2011 Supervisor: Frank Lüders [email protected] Examiner: Kristina Lundqvist [email protected] 1 Abstract The thesis project describes the analysis, process and major factors in development of a simple component oriented Web Shop in ASP.NET. It addresses to the concepts used in the application as well as derivation of technical design and development from the concepts acquired by studying existing approaches. The report describes a brief summary of existing approaches and related technologies. It also lays the foundation of goal oriented approach by providing an overview of component based software engineering. The basic concepts for modularization were barrowed from entities identification, object models and component models. Application’s architecture is set to be a layered approach combining the software layered architecture approach with multi tier architecture of web applications. Class models explaining the inner structure of each component have been provided and an overview of user interface pages is given to explain the application outer flow. The application sets out to prove the significance of component oriented approach as well as the support provided for it by ASP.Net. The resulting package proves to have scalable components that could be scaled for or reused in another application or in a later version of the same application. Keywords: Web Shop, development process, component based, ASP.Net, modularization, Layered Approach, multi-tier approach, scalable, reuse. 2 A Thanks…….

  • 35 Open Source and Free Tools to Manage Your Online Store
    3/7/13 35 Open Source and Free Tools to Manage Your Online Store Print Article Close Window From: www.cio.com 35 Open Source and Free Tools to Manage Your Online Store – Vangie Beal, CIO March 06, 2013 For most small office home office (SOHO) businesses and entrepreneurs, breaking into ecommerce can have a hefty start-up fee. There's a lot of software to consider, and the costs to license or own that software can add up quickly. Other than the obvious benefit to open source ecommerce software—none of the licensing fees that come with proprietary or off-the-shelf packages—you'll find open source software provides access to communities of users, including developers and other storeowners, who freely offer help and add-ons to enhance the software package. Tips: How to Build an Online Business From Scratch If you find that open source software requires more technical know-how than you can manage, there's also free hosted ecommerce software to choose from. These are not open source software packages per se, but they are free for smaller businesses to try and will certainly get the job done when you're starting out. If you like the service and see positive results, you can always upgrade to a basic subscription plan. 13 Open Source Shopping Carts to Get You Started Some ecommerce software requires a bit more investigation that others. When choosing an online shopping cart, there are two big considerations: How well the software meets your own business objectives and how it complies with ecommerce industry standards.

  • Oscommerce (Styled "Oscommerce" - "Open Source Commerce") Is an E-Commerce and Online Store-Management Software Program
    OsCommerce (styled "osCommerce" - "open source Commerce") is an e-commerce and online store-management software program. It can be used on any web server that has PHP and MySQL installed. It is available as free software under the GNU General Public License. The API Integration allows you to connect to the NPFulfilment Logistics Platform- Pull orders from OsCommerce client site Push tracking numbers back to OsCommerce from NPFulfilment Push tracking URL back to OsCommerce from NPFulfilment (Optional) Push the SOH (Stock on Hand) Qty back to the client site Push the Available Stock on Hand Qty (Optional) Requirements from client in order to integrate with NPFulfilment. • OSCommerce API URL • OSCommerce Admin User Name and Password Order Filters that can be applied are as below: Order Start Date: - This is the date that the client would like to start sending the live orders for shipment. This will start from 12AM on a particular date. We cannot apply a particular time to pull the orders; hence it is just the date that is captured. Prefix of the Order: If the client wants to give any prefix with their order numbers then they can use this field. For example 1000012 is the order number and the client gives “MG” as the Prefix in the Master setting then the order will import to FM like this MG1000012. This is useful if you have more than one shopping carts in X-Cart. Say shopping cart A will have the prefix as A and shopping Cart B will have the prefix as B in NPFulfilment Logistics Platform.
