Dvanta Technologies insight

Article overview

For years, HCL Commerce developers have been valued for building custom features, integrating enterprise systems, and keeping mission-critical commerce platforms running. That foundation isn't going away — what's changing is how those skills will be applied.

Where the Industry Is Heading

  • AI-Assisted Development Copilots automate repetitive coding, generate APIs, create test cases, review code, and help troubleshoot production issues.

  • Intelligent Commerce Experiences Search, personalization, recommendations, and merchandising are becoming standard AI-driven expectations.

  • Agentic Commerce AI agents support quoting, procurement, merchandising, and customer service within defined business rules.

  • Smarter Production Support AI accelerates log analysis, anomaly detection, and root-cause identification.

  • From Developer to Solution Engineer Enterprises increasingly need professionals who understand business processes, cloud architecture, integrations, and AI — not just Java.

Skills defining the next generation of HCL Commerce professionals include HCL Commerce 9.1+, Java & Spring Boot, REST APIs & GraphQL, Elasticsearch, Docker & Kubernetes, MCP (Model Context Protocol), LLMs (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Gemini), RAG, and AI agent frameworks.

AI won't replace experienced HCL Commerce developers — it will make them more valuable, if they choose to evolve. Dvanta Technologies Pvt. Ltd. helps enterprise commerce teams build this next generation of AI-powered skillsets.
