What is Sitecore? Sitecore Experience Cloud is an all-in-one digital experience platform that brings together unparalleled content management, marketing automation and e-Commerce.

E-Commerce is becoming an integral part of our lives, and experts predict that the number of digital buyers will reach $2.14 billion by 2021. Under such conditions, an efficient e-Commerce platform is not a competitive advantage — it’s a prerequisite for any retail and wholesale business. Companies that use low-tech solutions should bring them up to date with the modern business environment, and companies that don’t have any should prioritize investing in a solution.
Online shopping is among the top activities for internet users worldwide, and its popularity is drastically growing due to the impact of some factors.

Consequently, the demand for powerful tools and solutions that can be used to develop and support the electronic commerce marketplace is growing.

Sometimes, we need to import Sitecore content data in the scope of migration or deploying process. In general, we can use Sitecore Migrations tools (if we need full migration). But if we just need to export content data, we can use Sitecore Package Designer, Unicorn or TDS.
In my case, we needed to migrate dozens of content items (more than 40 000) from Sitecore 7.5 to Sitecore 8.2. And we had only Sitecore Package Designer.
The main issue we faced was the long processing time (a couple of hours) of Sitecore Package Designer. This was the trigger for us to release our Sitecore Data Transfer tool.
