			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Magento website design" href="http://www.utopianwebstrategy.com.au/">Magento</a> and <a title="oscommerce website design &amp; development" href="http://www.utopianwebstrategy.com.au/ecommerce-web-design/oscommerce/">osCommerce</a>, both are widely accepted and implemented ecommerce solutions which allow store owners to run their online business successfully. Well, both are ecommerce website development solutions and embedded with all constructive features required to build a flourishing web store. This article has been written with intent to enlighten the pros associated with magento development over osCommerce. So, lets check out the following advantages of Magento development over osCommerce development.</p>
<p>When we talk about the osCommerce, it is an open source ecommerce platform which is backed with well established osCommerce community. If you want to run an osCommerce powered website, your web server must support PHP web scripting language and MySQL database.</p>
<p>As far Magento is concerned, it is one of the most popular ecommerce platforms. It offers you a package of powerful tools which help to create and maintain an ecommerce shop in perfect way. In order to run <a href="http://www.utopianwebstrategy.com.au/">Magento</a> store, you need Apache/MySQL/PHP platform. For effective performance of Magento store, it is suggested to hire reliable web hosting services. It is also powered by a community of experts, due to which you are able to create stunningly beautiful eCommerce themes.</p>
<p><strong>Magento vs osCommerce:</strong></p>
<p>1) Magento development requires qualitative servers from particular hosting providers for running an ecommerce store perfectly, while in case of osCommerce, shared web hosting account is enough to run the osCommerce platform.</p>
<p>2) Magento is equipped with various modules which help in building a fully featured website. The set of features in Magento CMS not only includes all features of osCommerce, but also contains lots of other add-on modules.</p>
<p>3) Magento has a perfectly organized backend system with clean structure due to which the backend system of Magento is more liked and appreciated as compare to osCommerce. Moreover, many people found some issues related to the coding and back end system in osCommerce.</p>
<p>4) Magento is newer than osCommerce. But still being older, osCommerce development has not been so successful in attracting web developers as compare to Magento development.</p>
<p>At the whole, <a title="oscommerce website design &amp; development" href="http://www.utopianwebstrategy.com.au/ecommerce-web-design/oscommerce/">osCommerce development</a> is popularly known for its easy installation and the Magento development is known for its configuration and customization. It is true that Magento takes all the best things from osCommerce, but takes these aspects into next level of sophistication. Magento developers make full use of these advantages and applied them to create better web application.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Parsippany, NJ (PRWEB) January 17, 2012</p>
<p>Dydacomp, a leading provider of business technology platforms for small and mid-sized eCommerce and multichannel merchants, today announced a strategic partnership with <a title="magento" href="http://www.utopianwebstrategy.com.au/">Magento</a>, the world&#8217;s leading open-source eCommerce platform. This partnership reinforces Dydacomps ability to provide Magento users with its industry-leading SMB commerce management solution, Multichannel Order Manager (M.O.M.), to automate and improve their online business operations and overall efficiency.</p>
<p>&#8220;Magento has quickly become the eCommerce solution of choice for merchants of all sizes, including over 100,000 small to medium-sized businesses looking for an affordable, fully functional and attractive eCommerce site, said Fred Lizza, CEO of Dydacomp. As these businesses grow, they need to integrate an order, inventory and customer management solution to successfully operate in the competitive multichannel market. The addition of Dydacomp to the Magento Partnership Program solidifies our ability to provide these vital management functions to Magento users and continue to be the commerce management solution of choice for multichannel merchants.</p>
<p>M.O.M. Version 8 offers the ability to seamlessly integrate with Magento Go, Community and Enterprise Editions via its open API or using the BizSyncXL extension from Freeportway available on Magento Connect. This integration provides Magento users with a PCI Compliant solution that can import orders, handle point-of-purchase or telephone orders, automate order workflow, track and manage products and inventory data as well as track, organize and access customer information for improved levels of service.</p>
<p>Magento allows users to create powerful and graphic-rich eCommerce sites that result in higher conversion rates. As a direct result of these increased sales, eCommerce businesses may need more capabilities than Magentos stand-alone shopping cart. This is where M.O.M. steps in to integrate order processing, payment processing, inventory management and shipping in one efficient multichannel solution at prices small and medium-sized merchants can afford.</p>
<p>We are excited to have Dydacomp become a member of our Industry Partner Program. M.O.M. enables Magento merchants to leverage their investment to grow and become more efficient in the back office, said Phil Robinson, Vice President of Business Development at Magento.This Extension facilitates the integration between Magentos eCommerce platform and M.O.M.s backend functionalities to create a user-friendly interface merchants can continually rely on to run daily business operations.</p>

Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) July 13, 2010</p>
<p>As more online stores turned to <a title="Magento website design" href="http://www.utopianwebstrategy.com.au/">Magento</a> CMS to improve maintainability and reliability of their websites, the need for rich media content that can easily integrate with Magento&#8217;s standard CMS solution became increasingly evident. This prompted WebRotate 360, a rich media production and development company based in California, to introduce an extension widget that made the job of integrating their popular 360 product viewers with Magento a simple task.</p>
<p>&#8220;We saw some of our clients migrating to <a title="Magento website design" href="http://www.utopianwebstrategy.com.au/">Magento</a> in the past few months. It was not all that surprising given the recent trends in E-commerce, but we were really unprepared to deal with the complexity of Magento customizations that our customers had to go through as they integrated our 360 product views. With this new extension we hope to alleviate the pain and give the broader Magento community a simple way to add rich interactive content to their websites. &#8221; said Dimitri Bir of WebRotate 360.</p>
<p>The extension comes as a standard Magento module that seamlessly integrates with Magento product catalog. It can embed rich media content such as 360 degree product views, interactive product presentations, e-commerce product videos, and similar media components.</p>
<p>Known more for their 360 product photography service, the team at WebRotate 360 doesn&#8217;t want to stop here. They are working on adding several extensibility add-on&#8217;s and other rich media features to complement their existing offerings.</p>
<p>ABOUT WebRotate 360 LLC WebRotate 360 are specialists in product imaging, product modeling and custom rich media development for Internet retailers, E-commerce providers, manufacturers, and marketing agencies. They provide a full range of product imaging solutions, including high quality 360 degree product photography, interactive product presentations, 360 product viewers for web publishing, consulting, and web development services.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="oscommerce website design &amp; development" href="http://www.utopianwebstrategy.com.au/ecommerce-web-design/oscommerce/">osCommerce</a> is an open source e-commerce online store management software program. It can be used on any web server that has PHP and MySQL installed. However, with the introduction of <a title="magento" href="http://www.utopianwebstrategy.com.au/">Magento</a>, it has become a lot easier to maintain online shopping stores. You can import your data from oscommerce into your website in Magento.</p>
<p><a title="Magento" href="http://www.utopianwebstrategy.com.au/">Magento</a> is one of the most promising shopping cart which needs information like IP/host of your osCommerce DB, user login and name of DB to set up a profile. Everything else is taken care of by Magento. The data Magento supports is the default DB of osCommerce 2.2 RC2 which includes customers, orders, categories and products in multiple languages. There are online services that help you to migrate data from osCommerce to Magento automatically. Discussed below are the tips to migrate from oscommerce to Magento store.</p>
<p>Magento offers a lot of features which empower a website like nothing else. Magento offers a number of advantages. First of all, it is superior to oscommerce development because of the useful features it has like, easy to modify and having a strong community, good programming structure, and frequency of project code updates. The software is built to be easy, so that even if you have a web store and say a security update comes out, you can update it in just a few minutes without going through a number of lines of code. It has many add-on modules that people commonly request for Oscommerce. It provides coupons, order editing, SEO URLs and meta tags, abandoned shopping cart reporting, product comparisons, editable order emails, shipping estimator in shopping cart without the need to login, and much more.</p>
<p>Some of the notable benefits of <a title="Magento" href="http://www.utopianwebstrategy.com.au/ecommerce-web-design/magento/">Magento Development</a> are:</p>
<p>Easy to use: It does not require any technical knowledge. You just need to provide information about your source shopping cart (osCommerce), target shopping cart (Magento), select the type of data you want to move and the migration to Magento is set!</p>
<p>Quick: All it takes to set up and migrate are just few minutes. A bigger store may require a little more time. But it is anyway done sooner that expected.</p>
<p>Affordable: You pay for the information you migrate only.</p>
<p>Live help: Live help and assisted migration from osCommerce to Magento is available to save your time, minimize risks and ensure data safety.</p>
<p>Before upgrading, you need to know what customizations you have done to your Oscommerce website, and compare that with the Magento feature list to see if anything you have done is missing from Magento. If there is something missing, you should put it into your quote request that you send to your web developer. The main steps involved in converting oscommerce to Magento are</p>
<p>1.Modifying Magento with the type of customisation you need.2.Applying the design template to Magento3.Exporting customer data and order data from Oscommerce to Magento.</p>
<p>However, it is important to consider that once you switch to Magento, customers would not have the same customer logins. Magento developer you hire can export the same customer logins that they had on your oscommerce store.</p>
<p>In order to migrate from oscommerce to Magento, you need to hire a good Magento ecommerce development service. Hire an experienced and reliable service provider who offers to develop your Magento upgraded store on a test server so that you can make sure everything runs the way you want before you switch to Magento.</p>
