4.2 Requirements
This book illustrates the capabilities of an Extended Sites environment and provides guidance and best practices for implementing that environment. InWe focused on the following requirements while creating the Extended Sites environment. We cannot illustrate all possible customer scenarios, but we felt that these requirements provided the widest breadth of information:
Two consumer direct stores with a common look-and-feel.
One consumer direct store with a unique look-and-feel.
All consumer direct stores sell a common set of products.
One consumer direct store sells an additional set of products that is available only through its store.
All shoppers can shop only in a consumer direct store.
Two differently branded B2B direct stores with a common look-and-feel.
Only registered B2B users can shop in one or more B2B direct stores.
Users registered in a parent buyer organization can shop in both B2B stores.
Users registered in a child buyer organization can shop in only one B2B store.
In completing these requirements, we illustrate a number of concepts in access control and asset sharing. This information should provide a solid foundation of knowledge in how to implement an Extended Sites environment that can be customized for any seller.
