INFINITE Corporation enjoys significant industry experience and many client engagements. |
|
|
BMW
As one of the premier names in the automotive industry, BMW’s relentless
drive for excellence in product engineering is legendary. The company
operates on in over 130 countries.
INFINITE Corporation empowers BMW’s worldwide dealer network to operate
independent of platform.
The history of BMW stretches back over almost ninety years. Ninety years
of history from a fascinating company with a wealth of information about
the innovations and pioneering work that have contributed to BMW's
growth. A history which features outstanding personalities and legendary
automotive creations.
The past is still very much alive at BMW and its inspiration provides
ideas for future developments. BMW is committed to documenting its
history for the benefit of those interested. The impressive results of
this undertaking can be seen in the activities of BMW mobile tradition
together with the BMW Museum and historic archive.
INFINITE Corporation’s INFINITE iSERIES solution plays an important
role for BMW’s dealer network. By providing a platform independent
environment for the company’s proven software solutions, their dealers
now have the ability to run tried and true applications on their
platform of choice.
BMW had looked at replacing their core dealer applications, but had been
unable to find a product that had as much functionality as their
existing system. The issue for BMW was platform. They wanted the freedom
to execute their IBM iSeries applications on Windows or Linux under
Oracle as the database. This is where INFINITE Corporation’s INFINITE
iSERIES
comes in. INFINITE iSERIES provides tools for the migration of
native iSeries applications to Windows, Unix or Linux. The product is
also bundled with Infinite NET, a full-featured EAI product that
includes a Graphical Interface, Web-to-Host capabilities and powerful
application integration tools. INFINITE iSERIES is delivered with
Infinite OLAP. This product provides powerful reporting from the now
migrated applications as well as other disparate systems in
heterogeneous environments and databases. The INFINITE Corporation
implementation included building graphical screens, creating web-based
access to the system and providing integration to other Microsoft
applications for desktop users.
With INFINITE Corporation technology, BMW can provide their dealers with the
ability to choose their platform and database. As a result of using the
INFINITE Corporation platform, BMW is realizing significant benefits
(including high ROI) through improved costs per location and the ability
to maintain the same project team regardless of platform. This has
resulted in cost reductions efforts and enhanced employee productivity.
More than 750 users actively use INFINITE iSERIES throughout the
BMW global dealer network. |

The Decision
Several reasons influenced BMW to select INFINITE Corporation as the
company’s multi-platform environment. “Our relationship with INFINITE
Software spans several decades, but our decision to utilize INFINITE
iSERIES at this time was because we were impressed with the
utilization of the latest technologies from Microsoft including c# and
the tools from Visual Studio.NET. INFINITE iSERIES is bundled
with a very powerful GUI, Web-to-Host capabilities and application
integration capabilities. When combined with their BI/OLAP system, this
meant we got three products in one for the price of one. One team
supports it all.
