Common Sense eCommerce » MonsterCommerce Upgrading to Network Solutions Shopping Cart

Via Technorati, I found a blog post reporting some information about the coming software migration and update. It gives a pretty good perspective.

This is news that has been bubbling for quite some time. If you have a MonsterCommerce website, you probably already know that Version 4x is being supplanted by Version 7x. As the jump in version numbers indicates, this is not a minor update. In fact, it’s not an update at all but a full migration to a different platform.

However, there was one opinion I didn't agree with and I felt I had to respond to this post with the following.

I agree with most of what you wrote except for this - "If you are considering MonsterCommerce [snipped] this would be a good time to wait things out."

I posted more (which is waiting in moderation), but you should go to Frank's site to read it. From my understanding of this, his suggestion was that our company is going through a rough transition and this would not be a good time to sign up. Whereas the migration and upgrade ahead for our v4.6 clients will possibly involve some deep hand-holding and patience from both sides --as it would with any transition of this magnitude-- clients that are already on the new platform or that are considering using our services will not be affected.

I hope that clears up what I meant to say. Read more from Frank Ross' Common Sense eCommerce.
