Case Studies
|
|
INFINITE Corporation enjoys significant industry experience and many client engagements. |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
INFINITE Corporation empowers Volvo to present a consistent User Interface
across multiple platforms, to web-enable and integrate multiple
applications across its varied operations. Volvo is a global company
with employees and dealer operations in 180 countries. The company had
established clear goals for implementing the integration of multiple
systems. |
|
|
|
|
For over 75 years, the design of every Volvo has been guided by our
concern for the safety and well-being of people. Over time, this
commitment grew into three core Volvo values: safety, quality and
environmental care.
Today, these values define our approach to product development, design and
production. While remaining faithful to these core values, Volvo has
decisively moved to create a family of automobiles that advance an
entire industry in safety, performance and design.
Volvo is part of Ford Motor Company’s Premier Automotive Group. its
aggressive technology goals for building its business and improving the
bottom line led to the need to employ best-of-breed solutions from
INFINITE Corporation.
INFINITE Corporation’s baby.NET provides mainframe and midrange legacy
integration. When various teams in different departments wanted to
create department-specific graphical screens and provide the ability for
thousands of users to concurrently access the host systems via the
internet, baby.NET was chosen for its ability to be deployed quickly and
inexpensively.
Volvo has worked to develop the best possible enterprise systems. The core
applications provided best practices solutions, but they were not
web-enabled nor graphical. The INFINITE Corporation implementation, called
baby.NET, is key to providing a highly customized UI regardless of
whether the host systems are mainframe or midrange.
With INFINITE Corporation technology, Volvo employees are able to access
their systems securely from anywhere via browser. The ability to update
and pull information while offsite makes it much easier for staff
working on global field projects or working virtually from their homes.
Having immediate access to critical data allows them to make decisions
on the fly that can add dollars to the bottom line. As a result of using
the INFINITE Corporation platform, Volvo is realizing significant benefits
(including high ROI) through improved project management decisions, more
timely responses to information requests, cost reductions efforts, and
enhanced employee productivity. |

Volvo Gains Major Benefits from the INFINITE Corporation Platform
Volvo deployed baby.NET to integrate its mainframe and midrange
applications and to provide graphical web-enabled access to the systems
for their employees. Baby.NET was used as a critical element to provide
secure three-tier access to support field and local staff. Easy
deployability, simple maintenance, and ease-of-use found in baby.NET
made it an easy implementation for both the IT support staff and end
users.
More than 900 users actively use baby.NET™, an all-XML, intuitive
interface, to access their legacy applications. |

The Decision
Several reasons influenced Volvo to select INFINITE Corporation as the
company’s EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) platform. “Our
relationship with INFINITE Corporation spans several decades, but our
decision to utilize baby.NET at this time was because we were impressed
with the breadth and understanding of INFINITE Corporation’s consultants,
the company’s vision and its ability to deliver quickly and on-budget. |
