Highlights from Magento Imagine 2017
Every year, Magento hosts its Imagine event in Las Vegas, where implementation partners, e-commerce managers, and technology partners catch up on the latest Magento developments. This year’s theme was Powering Tomorrow.
Over the past year, Magento has acquired several complementary technologies and positioned them as additional services around the Magento platform. At Imagine 2017, the following products were officially launched as part of the Magento family:
- Commerce Order Management
- Business Intelligence
- Shipping
- Social
Magento 2.2
Magento also announced that version 2.2 will be released at the start of the third quarter for both the Community Edition and the Enterprise Edition.
B2B
With the release of version 2.2, the Enterprise Edition will gain B2B functionality. Magento has always been geared more toward the B2C market. These new features will make Magento a complete out-of-the-box solution for B2B customers as well. B2B functionality is included as standard with a Magento Enterprise license, so no separate license is required.
