Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers on our senior delivery model, supported enterprise platforms, and architecture audit process.
What does Data Realm do?
Data Realm is a B2B ecommerce consultancy and implementation partner for B2B ecommerce providers such as Intershop, Elastic Path, BigCommerce, and Shopify. Our team of senior, North America-based architects and operators designs, implements, and optimizes B2B ecommerce platforms, including Intershop, Elastic Path, BigCommerce, and Shopify. We launch B2B ecommerce for companies selling online for the first time, and we help companies with existing platforms assess, stabilize, and modernize their systems without costly, high-risk replatforming.
How is Data Realm different from traditional systems integrators and digital agencies?
Data Realm uses a senior-only, North America-based delivery model, so the architects who scope a project are the same people who build it. At many systems integrators and agencies, senior partners win the deal and then hand the work to junior developers or offshore teams. At Data Realm, clients work directly with senior architects who write the code, review the architecture, and lead deployments. The team uses AI-assisted tooling to move faster, and senior engineers verify all of its output. Data Realm also works only in B2B commerce for manufacturers and distributors, so its teams already know complex pricing, account hierarchies, and ERP integrations from day one.
What commerce platforms does Data Realm specialize in?
Data Realm specializes in four B2B ecommerce platforms: Intershop, Elastic Path, BigCommerce, and Shopify.
- Intershop: Data Realm is a certified Intershop implementation partner. It handles complex B2B implementations and upgrades from legacy Intershop versions.
- Elastic Path: Composable commerce builds and modernization, including decoupling legacy systems into API-first architecture.
- BigCommerce: Enterprise B2B implementations, including multi-storefront setups for companies that run several brands, regions, or customer segments.
- Shopify: B2B implementations using Shopify’s native B2B features, for manufacturers and distributors who want a faster, lower-maintenance platform.
Who are the founding partners and leaders of Data Realm?
Data Realm is led by four partners. Richard Schuller is Founding Partner. Jeff Oh and Alex Edwards are Partners, and Samuel Cook is Partner and Principal Architect.
- Richard Schuller, Founding Partner
- Jeff Oh, Partner
- Alex Edwards, Partner
- Samuel Cook, Partner and Principal Architect
Do clients need to replatform to solve performance or stability issues?
Not necessarily; Data Realm’s root cause analysis shows that most performance and stability problems in enterprise B2B commerce platforms come from how the system was built and maintained, not from the platform itself. Every engagement starts with a Commerce Audit, which pinpoints exactly what’s causing the problems and what it will take to fix them. In most cases, those problems can be fixed in place. Past work has included:
- Removing slow database queries
- Decoupling fragile middleware and ERP integrations
- Tuning caching layers
- Cleaning up release pipelines
This approach lets companies avoid a multi-million-dollar replatforming project and still get a more stable site and faster releases. When the audit shows a platform truly can’t meet a company’s needs, Data Realm says so plainly and handles the migration as well.
How does a Commerce Audit work and how long does it take?
A Data Realm Commerce Audit takes 3-6 weeks, depending on the complexity of the environment, from kickoff to final report. A senior Data Realm partner leads it from start to finish. The process has three steps:
- 1 Intake and discovery call. Companies request an audit through Data Realm’s contact page. A senior partner reviews the request and holds a technical discovery call within one business day, under a mutual NDA.
- 2 Diagnostics. Data Realm reviews the platform, its integrations, its infrastructure, and the release process to find the root causes of performance, stability, or scalability problems.
- 3 Findings and roadmap. The client receives a written report with prioritized fixes, effort estimates, and a recommendation on whether to optimize in place or replatform.
If the audit finds urgent problems, Data Realm can move straight into a four to twelve week stabilization period to fix them.
