Retail

"We used a SAP system to record transactions on our purchases. We needed to share a lot of information with suppliers on purchase order quantities, delivery schedules; quantity of supply accepted and rejected reasons for rejections, accounts payable information and more. There were multiple levels of manual intervention for sharing of data with relevant vendors and entering vendor responses back in to the system. This system resulted in prolonged lead times, inefficient working capital turnover and higher rates of error. The requirement was to automate the entire workflow and speedup the business process. The first challenge was determining the enterprise architecture and second choosing a vendor. We evaluated several technologies and vendors after a due diligence process and POC over a periods of 6 months we decided on implementing a SOA, choosing Fiorano to deliver that technology to UB."

"With FioranoMQ as our fundamental messaging infrastructure, we never needed to worry about essential message-based information being lost due to hardware or software failure. We found that we had no problem configuring a fully redundant solution, with high availability and no unplanned downtime. It was furthermore a tremendous benefit to us that FioranoMQ does not require a relational database engine to function, as that would have complicated our configuration and introduced potential failure points in our architecture. FioranoMQ has shown that a modern, highly file-based data store provides performance that is an order of magnitude better than messaging middleware that uses an RDBMS."
