Magento has almost become the “Kleenex” of the e-commerce world, as the term “Magento” is actually googled more than the term “e-commerce.” Hundreds of thousands of users that range from individuals with small businesses to multinational companies (such as the one and only Nike) use Magento. First available to the public in 2008, Magento has...

Who was it who first came up with the notion that “you get out of something what you put into it?” You’ve heard this saying before, and it certainly applies to the success of businesses these days.
