In this fast-paced environment, cloud-enabled and software-as-a-service (SaaS) digital commerce applications have come
to the forefront in the digital commerce space, seen as a solution for merchants making the leap across the digital

cloud environment, has arisen as a strong choice for merchants looking to future proof their digital commerce
operations. This IDC Technology Spotlight delves into the merits of a cloud-native architecture for digital commerce and
why HCL Technologiesis betting big on this technology for the future of commerce.
