Jonathan Bowen

Jonathan Bowen is an E-commerce and Retail Systems Consultant and has worked in and around the retail industry for the past 20 years. His early career was in retail operations, then in the late 1990s he switched to the back office and has been integrating and implementing retail systems ever since. Since 2006, he has worked for one of the UKs largest e-commerce platform vendors as Head of Projects and, later, Head of Product Strategy. In that time he has worked on over 30 major e-commerce implementations. Outside of work, Jonathan, like many parents, has a busy schedule of sporting events, music lessons, and parties to take his kids to, and any downtime is often spent catching up with the latest tech news or trying to record electronic music in his home studio.

Summary


As you become more experienced with the Studio, you will find that you see more and more opportunities to use context variables. Grab these opportunities with both hands! We have explored contexts by using the traditional "test/production" scenario, but it equally exists for "client A/client B/client C", "subsidiary A/subsidiary B/subsidiary C", and many other situations. Contexts make your jobs more flexible and allow you to reuse jobs repeatedly, with only minor changes reflected in context variables.

Our next chapter, Chapter 10, Worked Examples, will take what we have learnt from chapters 3 to 9 and put it all together in some real-life examples of integration jobs. The jobs are more complex and end-to-end in nature and will show how the Studio can manage the full integration process for you.
