to attend this webcast.
Now there is a path to enabling the store and the enterprise, your existing applications, and new applications to seamlessly share information using a Service Oriented Architecture, or SOA. This enables new, more efficient and optimal workflows and business processes. Today the distinction between store and enterprise applications has virtually disappeared, and you need to be able to share information and conduct business seamlessly between the two.
IBM is the world leader in SOA for retail. With over 50 retailers around the world already using IBM’s Store Integration Framework, the next logical step is a framework for the entire retail enterprise. Come and learn how IBM is extending these capabilities from the store through the entire enterprise using open industry standards and service definitions.
Learn about the ARTS SOA Blueprint from Dick Mader, Executive Director ARTS, a division of NRF. And hear from Beth Howard, Director of Marketing and Store System Sales, how PCMS, a leading worldwide Retail ISV, is partnering with IBM to execute SOA for retailers.
