Dataport is the leading IT service provider for public administration in northern Germany and is responsible for the digital sovereignty of six federal states and numerous municipalities. With almost 6,000 employees and a turnover of 1.5 billion euros, the company operates highly secure data centers and develops innovative software solutions to make digitalization a tangible experience for millions of citizens.
In order to meet the complex requirements for product data management and the connection to modern e-commerce structures, scope01 implemented a comprehensive Pimcore solution including SAP connection and Shopware interface.
The Dataport project at a glance
As part of a proof of concept (POC), Dataport evaluated the optimal connection between the PIM system Pimcore and the e-commerce solution Shopware. The aim was to develop a high-performance data model that manages both internal and external products across different languages and integrates seamlessly into the existing IT infrastructure (including SAP).
The challenge: complexity and security
As an IT service provider for the public sector, Dataport places the highest demands on data security, scalability and compliance with standards. The challenge was to map an extremely extensive data model that prepares products for different sales channels in Shopware in a differentiated manner. In addition, automated processes for deployment in a data center and the exchange of data in the standardized BMECat format had to be ensured.
