Case Study: Global e‑Commerce Company achieves scalable, cost‑effective SOA integration with OpenText Contivo

Global e-commerce company deploys best-of-breed technology to manage complex data transformations

A global e‑commerce retailer needed to move from two‑tier monolithic applications to a distributed, service‑oriented architecture but found its existing commercial messaging platform could not scale, run on commodity Linux hardware, or support the complex data transformations required for more than a thousand partner business processes. The integration team also faced strict cost‑per‑transaction targets, rapid deployment timelines, and regulatory requirements such as PCI DSS, so they required a solution that would be lightweight, highly scalable, and secure.

The company adopted OpenText Contivo (part of the OpenText Alloy platform) with OpenText Managed Services to handle transformation design, deployment and compliance. A proof‑of‑concept completed in two weeks and full deployment in three months enabled more than a hundred transforms processing peak traffic of over one million transactions per day, eliminated technical barriers to growth, ran on low‑cost components, and was rolled out to other teams across the organization.
