Commerce won hands down. This decision was reconfirmed when we recently reevaluated our burgeoning business needs and opted to migrate to WebSphere Commerce Suite, which we believe is the most comprehensive, robust e-marketplace solution today. Front-end Web queries and transactions are connected to enterprisewide information using IBM Net. Data and Java TM servlets. We're thus able to deploy new applications and build more functionality without replacing our existing infrastructure.
Customers can now submit bids for used and refurbished laboratory equipment.
An e-mail response confirming receipt of a bid is sent, using Lotus Notes. Items for bid are posted to the Web site with Domino. WebSphere Application Server, Advanced Edition played a key role in developing the applications that would manage these transactions. To develop these applications, SciQuest first identified the features that would deliver the largest business impact in the shortest amount of time. Web site success spurs company growth While the system's architecture is complex, the connection between all of the elements that make up the e-marketplace are invisible to the end user.
