Vision’s Information
Availability Solutions
by Industry

Retail

Today's educated consumer wants to be recognized as an individual important to your business and feel you care enough to build a relationship. That means taking an integrated, multi-channel approach that collects a wealth of data from your customers and making it available to all customer touch points within your organization.

When customers make purchases, systems must automatically record the entry of the order, update inventory levels in real-time, allocate the order to the appropriate warehouse, coordinate fulfillment and shipping, and record the customer data for later use to enhance a company's efficiency.

But what happens when this information is not available when and where you need it? Use the resources below to learn how the power of a Vision Solutions information availability product can help you develop a plan to ensure that customer satisfaction and serviceability levels are never compromised.

"We’ve been very pleased with MIMIX. Its data replication feature is rock-solid dependable."

SUCCESS STORIES

Puregold Price Club
A major concern for Puregold Price Club is ensuring the 24/7 availability of its core merchandising application, JDA MMS, across its entire network of stores. The application is powered by a single production server, which already crunches more than three terabytes of data, a workload which is expected to increase with the addition of more stores next year. It is critical that this application receives and distributes data across the network continuously and accurately. Thus, the company needed a solution to constantly replicate data to a backup server so that they could be assured of fast recovery in the event of a crisis.

Quixtar
Sometimes a solution yields benefits well beyond the initial business requirement. That’s exactly what happened when Quixtar, Inc., an online health and beauty retailer, sought a high availability solution for its back-end business applications.

Staples
Staples runs its global business operations, including systems that support 24x7 Web sales, on System i servers. Because competitors are just a click away, any business stoppage will result in considerable lost sales and customer dissatisfaction. Staples needs its systems up and running no matter what, including during scheduled maintenance and unplanned system outages.
