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.
