Microsoft has released a Community Technology Preview (CTP) of the next version of Commerce Server. Code named “Mojave”, the new Commerce Server 2009 boasts significant SharePoint integration.
This Commerce Server release includes a new multi-channel commerce foundation. This new run-time API adds new functionality and multi-channel awareness. The release also includes a default production-ready out-of-the-box site using Web Parts running in SharePoint, and other SharePoint commerce services. It provides 3 out of the box channels ready to go: Web, Mobile, and Live Services.
Tighter integration with SharePoint is a key element of Microsoft’s Commerce Server technology roadmap. The components are usable in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Office SharePoint Server 2007.
