POS systems. Devices. Applications. If technologies in store environments can’t talk to one another in near real time–retailers can’t optimize efficiency and responsiveness. IBM Store Integration Framework provides a cost-effective solution for rapidly integrating all retail devices and applications—past, present and future—in the store. How? It leverages a seamless set of software products based on open standards, such as Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE), and services that are preintegrated, packaged and configured to provide a store-level implementation of a service-oriented architecture (SOA).

Retailers can use Store Integration Framework to connect islands of data and business logic in near real time and align all channels. And even to manage store environments from the enterprise. Moreover, the framework is compatible with most retail operating systems, such as the IBM 4690 Operating System, Microsoft® Windows® and Linux® platforms, including IBM Retail Environment for SUSE Linux. And it provides a foundation for an enterprise–wide SOA.

Proven IBM WebSphere® Remote Server software is the heart of Store Integration Framework. Some capabilities are delivered through optional extensions, such as IBM Store Integrator, IBM Data Integration Facility and IBM Remote Management Agent software. And an ecosystem of innovative IBM Business Partners and independent software vendors is validated to work with Store Integration Framework.
