Critical infrastructure
E-commerce platforms are a web retailer's backbone. As such they require substantial investments of time and money and are not easily replaced. Microsoft Corp. was named most often, with 30 Top 500 companies using .NET web services architecture to some degree and 12 using the Commerce Server platform. GSI Commerce counts 28 customers in the Top 500. Microsoft customers include Best Buy (No. 11), Indigo Books & Music Inc. (No. 140) and Auntie's Beads Inc. (No. 496). GSI's Top 500 clients include Palm Inc. (No. 99), Liz Claiborne Inc. (No. 305) and Aeropostale Inc. (No. 423). Almost 150 of the Top 500 developed their own e-commerce platforms.
