The #1 Alternative to Microsoft Commerce Server

ECF G5 will be positioned as a key alternative/competitor to Microsoft Commerce Server, with the added benefit of having complete control over the code base as well as the utilization of the latest .NET technologies such as WWF, ATLAS and more. ECF G5 was architected and designed to provide the ultimate flexibility for organizations looking for a scalable technology platform designed to be integrated with any number of external systems.

Designed for Professional .NET Organizations

ECF G5 was designed by .NET engineers, for .NET engineers and professional organizations looking to accelerate and deliver any type of commerce solution and surrounding integration points. The platform itself is a multi-year platform and we have taken great care to align with all of the best practices and architectural guidelines of .NET and have added our own ecommerce experience on top of that. It is pure .NET and there are no proprietary approaches which allows your engineering staff to use all of their existing knowledge and skills.

Intelligent Architecture & Open Source Licensing

The ECF G5 architecture is exactly what you would expect if your going to be smart about your commerce investment. Loosely coupled subsystems allow for complete replaceability, augmentation, and even the ability to add your own subsystems all within context. In short, everything is designed for the maximum amount of choice and flexibility. With full source code availability, your levels of control and choice are boundless.

Leverage & Extend the Latest .NET Technologies

The ECF G5 has been re-architected to take advantage of the latest .NET capabilities. Simply put, imagine if Microsoft releases a new .NET framework (.NET 3/3.5) with new capabilities and technologies. Gone are the days of the "Write your Own" solution. If your organization has adopted .NET there is absolutely no reason you should spend your time trying to write a commerce solution from scratch. The real challenge is to find the right solution that you can extend, customize, and leverage for your unique business requirements and needs. The ECF provides a killer base of code and architecture and then tees you up for your unique commerce solution(s).

• Well written code, stored procedures
• Powerful set of front end, API, and backend features and capabilities
• Modular Architecture and loosely coupled subsystems with replaceability and re-use
• Adaptable Data Structures and advanced meta data capabilities
• Use of Latest .NET Technology (WWF, AJAX, etc.)

Your Way - Every Time...

If you haven't figured it out, ECF G5 provides you the total ability to develop, integrate, extend, and deliver world class re-usable code on your projects and integrations. Best of all, it's your way--every time.

Early Adopter and Beta Programs

Since August of 2007 we have been working with companies who have already adopted the ECF G5 framework and in fact have gone live. These early adopters include major companies, systems integrators, and technology alliances with other leading .NET best-of-breed software vendors.

If you are interested in seeing ECF G5 early and exploring the benefits of working with Mediachase, contact us at sales@mediachase.com or call us at U.S. +1 323-988-1071.

The early adopter program is not for everyone, but if you want to see what we have for you, will know why it may be of strategic value to you.

If you want to wait, we will be offering access to packages soon for general exploration and preview, but you must get on the list as this will not be available to just anyone. Send an e-mail to sales@mediachase.com requesting beta or demo access and we will put you on the list.

Technology Alliances

If your company has software or technology that may fit within our ecosystem approach for integration, feel free to contact us and we can explore how our products can work together. You must have a proven product and it must make sense from a strategic partnership level with Mediachase.
