Global Heating Systems Business Improves Employee Collaboration Worldwide With Solution From IBM and DREGER Information Technology

A worldwide heating systems company required the company's 7,000 employees to collaborate closely and exchange technical data across 10 factories and 112 sales agencies in 39 countries. Managers knew that IBM Lotus Notes is an unquestioned leader in groupware and that IBM WebSphere Application Server is a leader in J2EE portal and database integration. But employees at far-flung locations needed the technology platforms to work seamlessly and easily - with a minimum of IT support. The company integrated Lotus Notes and WebSphere using D-BUSINESS Portal Information Integrator from DREGER which gave company users a single-browser portal for all applications.
