3.7. Looking Forward

Thanks to the Java architects from Sun Professional Services and the teams from Fort Point Partners and ATG, jcrew.com is now a proof-of-concept for consequent rollouts of J2EE-based applications. The number of companies using server-side Java technologies and the J2EE platform is increasing dramatically, and more and more companies are releasing J2EE-compliant solutions that take advantage of the interoperable, reusable components the J2EE platform provides.

J.Crew has plans to migrate the Web site to Dynamo 5 in the near future, to fully realize the benefits of the J2EE platform. “We firmly believe that J2EE is the future for large projects like this. J.Crew was just the beginning. The rapid acceptance of our latest release of Dynamo speaks to this, as companies are clamoring for a more robust and scalable infrastructure,” says Tareef Kawaf. “We're firmly committed to Java technology and specifically the J2EE platform. Our work with Sun Professional Services and Fort Point Partners on this project solidified this belief as the true merits of the platform were finally realized.”

“We're excited about the new release of ATG Dynamo and are looking forward to taking full advantage of the J2EE platform,” says Paul Fusco. “We're proud to have been a part of bringing J2EE into the mainstream corporate market. Our current infrastructure took us to the next level, and we're confident that by migrating to a fully J2EE-compliant platform, we'll be ready for any challenges that come our way.”

But for now, J.Crew and its masses of faithful customers are enjoying the benefits of a highly advanced e-commerce channel that exhibits as much style and class as the clothes it provides to consumers.
