A IBM Case Study
Niagara Bottling, a major U.S. bottled water manufacturer, needed a more reliable way to support growing EDI volumes and strict trading partner SLAs as it expanded into new markets and business models. Using IBM Sterling B2B Integrator and related IBM services, the company sought to improve availability and avoid disruptions to its trading partner integration platform.
IBM implemented a high-availability, modular multi-node EDI architecture for Niagara Bottling using IBM Sterling B2B Integrator, IBM MQ, IBM B2B Advanced Communications, and IBM Sterling Supply Chain Business Network. The new setup delivered 100% apparent uptime, allowed transactions to queue during outages, enabled uninterrupted maintenance and upgrades, and helped Niagara Bottling scale EDI operations and add new functionality quickly with less operational risk.
