360Commerce’s Store Optimization Applications Support the World’s Most Popular Open Source Database
Austin, Texas (January 6, 2004) – 360Commerce, a leading retail software vendor, today announced that it has formed a partnership with the provider of the world’s most popular open source database, MySQL. 360Commerce’s 360Store™ Java-based application suite supports the MySQL database server for a solution that gives retailers more freedom-of-choice in hardware and operating systems.
This partnership enables 360Commerce to support its customers who choose MySQL, which is a cost-effective option known for its performance, reliability and ease of deployment. “360Commerce’s flexible Java architecture and applications give retailers the ability to leverage technology they already own, choose from a wide range of platforms and databases, and quickly customize the applications to meet their unique business needs,” said Steve Gannon, director of product development for 360Commerce. “Combine this with MySQL’s ability to provide retailers with a widely-used and cost-effective database solution, and we have an offering that allows retailers to lower their total cost of ownership on a new store system and rapidly see ROI.” 360Store Point-of-Sale and MySQL are currently deployed at Gap Inc., says 360Commerce.
