Case Study: Power & Tel achieves agile, scalable distribution with Progress OpenEdge and Infor SX.e

Power & Telephone Supply Company Stays Agile with Infor and Progress

The customer, Power & Tel, a wholesale distributor, faced the challenge of operating on small margins while needing to innovate and extend services to stay competitive. They needed a way to modernize their operations without making their existing ERP platform obsolete for their thousands of customers and vendors. The vendor, Progress Software, provided the underlying platform for their solution.

Progress Software's OpenEdge platform powered the Infor SX.e ERP solution implemented by Power & Tel. This allowed them to extend their core system, maintain process integrity, and provide a unique hybrid environment for their customers. The results included processing about a billion transactions per week with high reliability and no data loss since 1998. Progress Software's solution provided essential scalability, reduced the total cost of ownership, and enabled Power & Tel to remain agile in a volatile market.
