Case Study: Pepkor achieves 90% faster system connectivity with WSO2

Pepkor cuts legacy access time from one month to two days with WSO2

PEPKOR, a major South African retailer, faced the challenge of integrating its numerous legacy systems with modern applications in a cost-effective way. The company needed to avoid costly replacements while enabling new digital capabilities. To solve this, PEPKOR turned to vendor WSO2 and implemented their Enterprise Integrator platform to API-enable existing systems.

The solution from WSO2 involved deploying an integration layer and WSO2 API Manager to expose legacy data and procedures as modern APIs, while WSO2 Identity Server unified user identities. This allowed PEPKOR to achieve significant results: reducing access time to legacy databases from one month to two days, cutting the time to securely expose new APIs from one week to just one hour, and streamlining user identity integration from months to days.
