did you manage to get all the mom inf in to oscommerce

I'm certainly curious about the migration from sitelink to OSCommerce. I've use OSCommerce before and its pretty impressive. From my standpoint, and I'm new to sitelink/MOM, OSC is much easier to develop for, customize, and operate. It is cross-platform so you can run it on linux, windows, or any other server paltform you wish, and its fully supported by an open source community of user/developers.

Also i would like to know more about the network infastructure at dydacomp. My employer is using a hosted sitelink package, and it worries me to think an MCI outage could take down all of sitelink. When it comes to hosing ecommerce sites, i would expect redundant data carriers. If MCI Goes down, there should be another data carrier (i.e. verizon, sprint, etc) to fall back on without any service interruption.

Vicky,

Take a look at CommerceV3.com. They have several customers using MOM and thier CV3 solution for e-commerce.

Hello All,

I was a sitelink user. I am currently setting up an ecommerce site with CommerceV3. I would be happy to give you a conversion/setup and a spidering results review once the site is established with them.

Garrett, could you fill me in a bit more regarding your conversion? I'm at a crossroads now, looking at converting my site into a more functional, progressive form, and would like as much input as possible in regards to your decision to pick one package over the rest, the main benefits over the SiteLINK system, etc. We feel that in order to progress in our highly competitive industry we must make a giant leap to a more adept platform. We've been quite disappointed with the current SiteLINK (version 5.4), and decided that considering the absurd amount of bugs in this software that we would not convert to SiteLINK 6.0 for some time. I'd like to find a product that offers the same level of integration, but allow me more creative and functional options, as well as many of the features other products have offered for some time.

As a side note, while writing this I see that SiteLINK isn't in the forum's dictionary. Interesting.

Thanks,

Rory

Hi Rory,

I am still in the process of the CommerceV3 conversion. There are some issues with MOM compatibility and costs associated with the change or lack of change in their time frame. I will let you know once I am at the other end as to the pieces that worked well and those that did not. I am very suprized that most of the threads relating to this platform have not expressed more fully the process and final outcome. I will certainly give a full run down of my experiece, good and bad once the conversion is over. Also will give you the final price tag.

Hope your company is doing well is these difficult times.

Kindest Regards,
Garrett
