Certus makes ordering easy with IBM WebSphere middleware on Linux

Challenge

Veterinary supplies company SVS was interested in updating its phone and fax ordering systems for its customer base of more than 500 veterinary practices across New Zealand. The company wanted to implement an automated, web-based solution that would allow busy vets to quickly check stock availability and place orders.

Solution

IBM Premier Business Partner Certus designed a solution for SVS that enables vets to view and order stock using their existing VetLink software packages. The vets’ software is integrated with SVS’s existing systems using a high-availability message processing hub that includes IBM WebSphere Application Server, IBM WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker, IBM WebSphere MQ and DB2 all running on Red Hat Linux.

Benefits

Making it easier, faster and more efficient for vets to do business with SVS has given the company a competitive
differentiator. For SVS, the scalable, re-usable solution removes the need for costly changes to legacy systems.
In addition to saving time, it is simple for the solo IT administrator to manage.
