A Equinix Case Study
Mimeo, a New York–based on-demand printing and distribution company, was asked to process a sudden high-volume EDI workload that would spike orders from about 1,000 to 15,000 during peak periods. The company needed a fast, scalable integration platform that could handle diverse trading‑partner formats, simplify multiple custom interfaces, and be deployed quickly without heavy upfront infrastructure investment.
Equinix Professional Services for Cloud (EPS Cloud) designed a Microsoft Azure–based solution using Azure BizTalk Services and the Azure Service Bus to standardize EDI-to-XML mapping, connect to on‑premises printing, and run across geographically dispersed data centers. After successful load testing (20,000 orders in 12 hours) and a three‑month rollout, Mimeo began processing EDI orders, gained $8M in annual revenue from the new contract, shortened integration time from months to weeks, and expanded reliable, scalable global reach without large capital outlays.
