hybris Will Soon Be History
For many businesses, hybris has long been a key entity in their commerce technology landscape. However, with rapidly changing customer expectations and technology requirements, the limitations of the system become evident. Meanwhile the end-of-life (EOL) for hybris on-prem 2205 has now been officially scheduled: according to current documentation development and support will end on July 31, 2026.
Why Forward-Looking Executives Act Now
Prudent business decision-makers don't wait until their legacy hybris system runs out of service. They know that a fundamental change in commerce technology needs in-depth planning and preparation. No matter if they decide to stick with hybris or take the opportunity to realign their technology strategy from scratch.
But for many companies, the need to modernize their stack — to save money in the middle and long term, increase their top line revenue and better meet consumer demands — has become critical.
The sooner the legacy system's limited adaptability and ability to innovate and high operating costs (TCO) can be overcome, the sooner competitiveness and customer satisfaction can be taken to the next level.
Leaving Monolithic Commerce Systems Behind
Monolithic software architecture has long been the state of the art in digital commerce. Technically such systems bundled all functionality in one single code base and were not designed for individual customization at all. Therefore, it is not surprising that in today's businesses, where the ability to adapt and innovate quickly is vital for survival, monolithic legacy systems are reaching their limits. And worse: monolithic systems often prevent or slow down innovation and cause massive development and maintenance costs.
Switching to Tailored Commerce Orchestration
Modern businesses must be able to react quickly and flexibly to new customer expectations and capitalize on technical innovations. This is why new software concepts are on the rise, enabling executives to orchestrate technologies individually according to the best-of-breed principle. Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS and Headless (MACH) are key design principles of such commerce systems - each component is pluggable, scalable and interchangeable and can be continuously improved to meet changing business requirements.
