Computer Discount Warehouse Implements DataMirror e-Business Solution to Avoid Time-Consuming Manual Replication
DataMirror Corporation (TSE: DMC), a leading provider of e-Business data integration and resiliency solutions, today announced that its Transformation Server software has been chosen by Computer Discount Warehouse to enable new e-Business initiatives through the real-time replication of its business-critical data.
Headquartered in Vernon Hills, Illinois, Computer Discount Warehouse (CDW) is the United States' leading direct provider of complete, customized computing solutions for business and consumers. The Company employs more than 1,800 people and has over 600,000 customers throughout the United States. Before selecting DataMirror Transformation Server software, CDW employees had to manually replicate invoices daily by way of programs and scripts. With the DataMirror solution, CDW can now seamlessly replicate its AS/400 DB2 based customer, product, inventory and order status data in real-time to a web server on a Microsoft SQL Server machine.
CDW joins Baxter Healthcare, GFDI, ADT Automotive, Harley-Davidson, Campbell Soup, Fidelity, TD Waterhouse, Cable & Wireless, Tiffany & Co, Cardinal Health and CEMEX as industry leaders who have licensed DataMirror Transformation Server for its unique real-time capture, transform and flow (CTF) data integration technology.
"CDW has made an excellent choice with Transformation Server," said Nigel Stokes, Chairman, President, and CEO of DataMirror Corporation. "Through careful evaluation, CDW found the DataMirror solution much more reliable than their manual process, and not at all time-consuming. They also liked the fact that no programming changes were required to existing platforms and databases. DataMirror Transformation Server easily and seamlessly distributes and consolidates enterprise data for e-Business applications. It is great to know that DataMirror is not only contributing to the efficiency of CDW's e-Business initiatives, but also to their corporate mission to provide excellent customer service."
