Businesses launching ecommerce platforms often face an important decision: should they manage their infrastructure internally or rely on a fully managed platform provider?
The EMS platform offers both options.
The Self-Managed EMS Fulfillment Suite is designed for organizations that already operate their own hosting infrastructure and have experience managing WordPress and WooCommerce environments. With this option, businesses receive the EMS software license and deploy the platform within their own servers.
This approach provides maximum flexibility and control over the hosting environment, security policies, and server configuration.
However, managing a high-performance ecommerce distribution network requires ongoing technical oversight. Inventory synchronization, API traffic, and partner order routing all place significant demands on a website’s infrastructure.
For companies that prefer to focus on growth rather than server administration, EMS also offers a fully Managed Platform option.
The Managed EMS service includes website design, infrastructure hosting, security monitoring, and platform maintenance handled by the EMS technical team. Clients receive a fully operational distribution network without needing to manage servers, software updates, or system optimization.
Both approaches provide access to the same EMS platform technology. The difference lies in how much of the infrastructure management the business chooses to handle internally.
Organizations with internal development teams may prefer the flexibility of the Self-Managed platform, while businesses focused on scaling their distribution networks may benefit from the convenience and stability of the Managed solution.
Choosing the right option ultimately depends on the technical resources available and the level of operational control a business wants to maintain.
