Demandware, Inc. announced that 1-800 CONTACTS, Inc. has selected the Demandware Commerce platform to power its digital commerce operations. 1-800 CONTACTS will migrate from an on-premise solution to Demandware's cloud-based platform because it can easily scale to support the strong growth of its online channel. Demandware was selected because of the platform's proven track record of scalability, delivering 99.99% availability since inception, which will enable the company to innovate faster than its legacy on-premise solution. With a cloud-based solution, 1-800 CONTACTS can focus its resources on developing consumer-facing innovations that create value and drive growth for its digital commerce business rather than on routine maintenance like capacity planning, infrastructure management and software upgrades.
