Case Study: SICK AG achieves reliable, scalable company-wide integration with Software AG's webMethods

SICK AG uses integration platform for company-wide processes

SICK AG, a global sensor-technology leader with over 5,000 employees and more than 40 subsidiaries, faced increasing IT heterogeneity as it expanded internationally. The company needed seamless, reliable communication across diverse internal and external systems to keep operations running smoothly and maintain customer satisfaction.

Since 2002 SICK has used Software AG’s webMethods suite—Integration Server (ESB), Trading Networks, Broker, adapters and BPMS—deployed across distributed data centers to provide 24/7 global operations. The platform processes 20,000–50,000 transactions daily, scales with growing volumes, enables broad application integration and gives business teams greater control over B2B communication, forming a stable backbone for ongoing BPM and future projects.
