Agile development tailored to your needs
Best practice for the success of your project
Complex projects require simple, clear procedures for success. diva-e relies on agile projects, which we design together with you according to the specific project requirements. In the initial project, Scrum with 2- to 3-week sprints has proven successful. After manageable time cycles, the customer regularly sees the progress of the project and can intervene in the future development in a corrective manner if necessary.
For later further development, Kanban is also an interesting option. New features are developed in parallel according to their priority, if necessary, and are immediately brought live after successful testing.
Your milestone: 100-day MVP
After just one quarter, a manageable period of 100 calendar days from the start of implementation, the collaborative project team can claim its first success:
essential functions are
in your design with
data from the most important interfaces
on the future production system
for internal stakeholders and, if required, for
selected customers.
This Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is both a product and a method.
Discovery Phase
All essential requirements for the MVP are worked out in advance, ideally in an intensive joint conference week:
User stories describe the functional requirements for the MVP. Consistent prioritization creates a clearly defined scope for the first 100 days. At the same time, the joint team gathers requirements to be implemented after the MVP for the official launch. With proven procedures and tools, diva-e supports you in collecting your requirements in a targeted manner, structuring them and putting them into the format of user stories.
The user interaction design (UX) is created in parallel, taking your design specifications into account. An experienced UX designer advises you with deep expertise, creativity and extensive e-commerce experience.
The software architecture design represents all systems involved, including the existing technical backend. It considers, for example, whether SAP Commerce's integrated CMS should be used or another content management system should be integrated.
Interface definitions for the MVP are designed by your experts and ours, for example to provide product and customer data from existing systems and to transfer orders to the internal ERP.
During such a closed week, the key stakeholders from both sides get to know each other in the joint work, and the project team starts to develop.
MVP
With the results of the discovery phase, the adaptation of SAP Commerce Cloud can start for you: In sprints of two to three weeks, the user stories are implemented by diva-e developers. To do this, you prioritize the existing requirements together with our team and plan them for the following sprint. As a customer, you will see the current development status in the review at the end of each sprint. In this way, you regularly have the opportunity to directly influence further development. In the refinement workshops that take place parallel to development, you also continue to influence future implementations by completing and finalizing user stories with the support of our team, which are to be implemented in subsequent sprints.
Infrastructure
The SAP Commerce Cloud is usually available quickly. But it usually needs a whole "ecosystem" with VPN connections and interfaces between different systems. Sprint results also need to be transported to the cloud to adapt the standard to your needs. Our IT and cloud experts build this architecture for you, sometimes in close collaboration with your IT. At the end of the MVP, you will have a complete system environment that could go live at any time.
Data and interfaces
Every online store needs product, price and customer data, usually from our customers' internal systems. Your customers' orders should be available in your ERP in real time. This requires good cooperation. We support you with experienced consultants and, if required, our own SAP ERP expertise to define and implement the necessary data structures and interfaces quickly.
After 100 calendar days, that is 13 weeks of intensive collaboration, you can use the MVP to give your internal stakeholders a good, functional first impression of your new online platform. The MVP is ideally suited to solicit praise and criticism from your customers and employees and, above all, ideas for the next phase.
Ready for the GoLive of your Version 1.0
Your online sales platform is technically ready for launch, and IT and cloud experts are preparing the final fine-tuning to go live for you. When it comes to developing features, functions and interfaces, we continue our now well-established joint work in refinement workshops and development sprints. We use proven checklists to prepare for a successful go-live and follow a joint schedule for agile development.

A variety of predefined as well as already implemented integration flows can be used (SAP API Business Hub).

For optimal connectivity, we analyze existing interfaces (ODATA, web services, SAP Gateway, Remote Function Call, IDoc) in the backend and extend them as needed. The focus of our teams' work is the efficient mapping of your processes end-to-end.
Open, web-based middleware for synchronous and asynchronous communication and integration of on-premise and cloud systems

SAP CX: Emarsys
Customer engagement is becoming increasingly relevant in e-commerce, especially when it comes to highly personalized, real-time targeting.
Emarsys offers exactly this based on a cloud-based marketing solution that can collect data from different systems and both digital and physical touchpoints due to its open architecture and interface.
Using this data, marketers can address customers in a personalized and automated way on different channels and in different contexts.
Key-Facts
1:1 personalization across all channels
Omnichannel automation for your customers
Artificial Intelligence: self-learning tools support you with recommendations and, for example, optimization of the dispatch time for e-mail newsletters.
Dashboards & Use Cases: data becomes actionable information and campaigns can be quickly implemented with the help of use cases.
Customers need to have confidence to disclose their data. With the DSGVO and some uncertainty around the topic of data protection, the transparent and understandable management of customer data is more important than ever. On the other hand, the most comprehensive information possible about customers is a prerequisite for targeted addressing and interaction. It's all about customer data, its internal use and the necessary transparency of data usage for customers.
The SAP Customer Data Cloud helps companies to put precisely this concern into practice efficiently and securely. It offers an integrated solution for:
Identity Management & Access Management (CIAM)
Customer Consent Management & Preference Management
Key Facts
Central solution for customer identity such as single sign-on or social login
Consent management and self-service for your customers
Profile management and preference management by the customers themselves
The management and collection of customer data in one central location is becoming increasingly relevant. Not only is it about customers having confidence to share their data, but also about managing all the customer's data in one place and gaining the most detailed 360° view possible.
This is exactly the challenge you can solve with the SAP Customer Data Platform. By linking different data sources, such as transactions, online sources, physical sources or POS information, a central view of a customer's data is created.
With the help of this central view, you can not only better understand your customers, but a unified customer profile is also created, i.e. a 360° view of the customer, which in turn allows hyper-personalization, i.e. contextual, near real-time personalization, and thus positively influences the customer experience.
Key Facts
Uncover hidden business opportunities by unifying all customer data and enhance the omnichannel experience by creating trusted customer profiles.
Understand how customers want to interact with your business while mitigating compliance risks with a solid foundation for privacy and governance Leverage hyper-personalization with rich customer intelligence to deliver a true omnichannel experience.
Depending on their purpose, activate the right customer data and route it to the appropriate systems in real time to create highly personalized experiences.
