Application Servers White Papers

Con-Way Takes the Road to Better Service With Online Invoicing

Overview Drive along a scenic stretch of North American highway and you're likely to spot a less-than-truckload carrier operated by Con-Way Transportation Services, Inc. Aiming to deliver a low-cost, Web-based channel to its customers, the company sought an e-business platform for building reusable architectural components with Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) technology. After reviewing more than 40 products, the company eventually had two finalists: IBM WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition and BEA WebLogic Server. And it was clear early on that WebSphere Application Server was the way to go. They were already an IBM shop, with IBM DB2 Universal Database for z/OS as enterprise database and an IBM e-server zSeries mainframe. They were confident that WebSphere Application Server would integrate smoothly into their environment. In addition, leveraging their existing server infrastructure has resulted in considerable savings.

Through the fog... Buying an application server

Less than 30 per cent of IBM’s ISVs work exclusively with WebSphere and the figures for BEA are probably not dissimilar. Then, if you opt for J2EE, you choose between one of the two market leaders, BEA’s WebLogic or IBM’s WebSphere.
