Seems really interesting and promising. In terms of the e-commerce landscape, do you think that this is a competitor to the smaller-mid level platforms, e.g. Magento or Opencart, or do you expect that this can scale up to enterprise level systems and compete with ATG, Demandware, and IBM WebSphere?


Good question. Forward will start at the small-med level because that's where our experience lies. Today we see it as comparable to the early Magento, but more developer friendly.

Time will tell, and we are very interested in offering an open source product and service that will compare with the likes of Demandware.
