Customer: Incentive Logic
Industry: Performance-based rewards solutions
Geography: Scottsdale, Arizona
Opportunity: Transforming the infrastructure for increased scalability and agility.
Solution: The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and an interactive, hands-on workshop
Software: JBoss Enterprise Application Server, JBoss Seam, JBoss Hibernate
Migration Path: Pearl-based environment to JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
Benefits: Faster development, greater scalability and “Ignited Performance”
“We have a very smart, fast-moving team and had set very aggressive deadlines for
taking our designs and re-factoring them in JBoss. “Instructor-led or
classroom training wasn’t going to work. We needed someone who had detailed
knowledge of the entire platform, as well as of the specific applications and who could
go shoulder-to-shoulder as we tore into the code.”
- Frank Gartland, Vice President, Solution Strategy and Development, Incentive Logic.

Industry: Retail
Geography: France
Opportunity: The aim was to free CAMIF from overly-complex nested systems and come up with a more efficient information system which was structured by business activity, thus enabling more transparent and targeted intervention.
Solution: CAMIF has built its technical base using Open Source components and can now offer business applications as both development frameworks and cross-functional services.
Software: JBoss Enterprise Application Server, JBoss Hibernate, JBoss Rules, JBoss Messaging, JBoss Eclipse IDE
Benefits: There are currently three application groups that benefit from the new architecture, which now integrates open source solutions, including several modules from the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.
Project summary: The CAMIF Group, a multi-specialist distributor and the third largest French mail-order company, offers a range that extends from household appliances and personal equipment to supplying local authorities and from home furnishings to fine foods, without forgetting financial products. In 2003, the company took the step of progressively decommissioning their twenty-year-old HP3000 servers and completely revising the software architecture that was in place.
