The mercer website has ecommerce system for selling products (reports and surveys related to their line of business). User can make online purchases of these surveys on the website. These surveys are also sold on mercer’s other website called iMercer which is handled by iMercer business team. They used to deploy these products twice, once to iMercer website using iMercer’s CMS and then to Mercer website using Mercer CMS. So to avoid these duplicate efforts in this enhancement the products would be deployed to both system from iMercer CMS. Also in this enhancement a new type of product paymonitor is introduced. It has different pricing and display on the website.
