Primark had already selected IBM's MQSeries as its messaging and queuing solution. They needed a content-based rules engine and a formatter to recognize, identify, process and reformat information before routing information to its next destination. New Era of Networks Rules and New Era of Networks Formatter provide the functionality, speed, reliability and scalability Primark required. MQSeries, New Era of Networks Rules and New Era of Networks Formatter are the components of MQSeries Integrator. New Era of Networks processes data between various sources and targets.
Sources provide incoming data and targets receive data.
Primark sources included database transactions, live feeds, FCC filings, and annual reports. Many targets can receive data from the same source. Targets may be other applications, users within Primark, or external users from Primark or from another company. Using rules and formats, New Era of Networks ensures information is routed, reformatted and processed correctly. Primark built a system where they could capture any new data and, based on rules, route the information wherever it was needed.
