Island Pacific And IBM: Bringing Flexibility To Retail Data Management

Organizations in the retail industry are awash with data management systems required to run a wide array of business processes. These operations can include point-of-sale (POS), customer relationship management, vendor relationship management, merchandising, demand forecasting and more.

To cope with their growing data management challenges, many retail IT organizations have evolved into the role of systems integrator, maintaining large and entrenched development staffs to write programs and update source codes on their applications. Such operations are costly, while their systems are typically inflexible and loosely coupled. It does not have to be this way.

Island Pacific Systems, Inc. is a global leader in inventory management and other retail software solutions. For more than 30 years, the Irvine, California-based company has provided scalable, flexible and affordable solutions for retailers throughout the world. These solutions enable retailers to manage the entire scope of their operations, and to meet the many demands of their customers.
