About company
Commerce Architects

Commerce Architects began when three ATG engineers envisioned a better approach to enterprise implementations. They saw that small, expert teams focused on impact could deliver transformative results faster. Breaking from the traditional mindset of large-scale system integrators, they proved that combining strong engineering with deep industry understanding could solve complex challenges more effectively—and yes, even make the process enjoyable.

What started as a boutique consultancy has evolved into a force in digital commerce. While our roots are in ATG migrations, we've expanded our expertise to lead clients through the modern commerce landscape—from microservices architecture and cloud transformation to strategic technology consulting.

We create custom cloud applications for companies with the biggest challenges, delivering Cloud Engineering solutions faster and better than anyone else. Our culture emphasizes knowledge sharing, innovation, and empowering client teams by transferring expertise, not just delivering code.
