New Features in Enterprise Edition Version 1.8

Magento Enterprise Edition Version 1.8 features a new module enabling merchants to increase customer retention through sending configurable, automated email reminders for abandoned shopping carts and wishlists. This enables merchants to target promotions and discounts to customers based on browsing activity.

Magento Enterprise Edition Version 1.8 also includes the addition of Solr as an alternative search engine to the standard Magento search, providing options to merchants for on-site search, and bringing enhancements to the speed, quality and relevancy of the search results provided to customers.

Additionally, Magento Enterprise Edition Version 1.8 includes performance enhancements through a Flat Sales module, as well as a module providing merchants the ability to archive orders after a configurable time-period. These modules are joined by a new feature that allows customer service representatives to assist customers in shopping through adding items to shopping carts, modifying wishlists, and more. All of this is coupled with many other enhancements and improvements to the existing functionality.
