360 Commerce Wins Award for SUSE LINUX Retail Environment
1 January 1970360Commerce has been named the winner of the "IBM Retail Environment for SUSE LINUX" category in the annual IBM PartnerWorld Beacon Awards competition, honoring IBM Business Partners for their ingenuity, customer satisfaction and outstanding achievements in providing on-demand business solutions. A key factor in the judging was the input provided by the nominee's customers during the nomination process.
The winning solution, 360Store Point-of-Sale, is a Java-based retail application from 360Commerce that is currently deployed on a wide range of hardware platforms and operating systems. It was announced this summer that major retailers, such as Circuit City and Pep Boys, plan to deploy 360Store Point-of-Sale on IBM SurePOS(a) Point of Sale terminals featuring IBM Retail Environment for SUSE LINUX (IRES). 360Commerce's application suite also provides back office functionality leveraging the IBM eServer(a) xSeries(a) running SUSE LINUX and the IBM Store Integration Framework.
"This award further validates our position as the choice for retailers who want to implement next-generation technology and functionality that has been tested and proven in retail," said Tom Fornoff, vice president of business development. "We are proud to have IBM recognize our leadership in support of their new retail offerings, and that the award criteria ultimately relied on the value our combined solution delivers to our joint customers in the demanding retail environment."
