Centralized Mission-Critical Data, for Close Linkage With Web Systems Realized "Click and Mortar" to Establish a Platform for Increasing Competitive Strength

Overview GEO Corporation continues rapid growth through the development of its "GEO Shops", a platform for renting and selling new and used software products. Its competitive strength stems from more efficient operation of direct management store, and it is aggressively pursuing better and more cost-effective services for its members, based on its concept of seeing the nation-wide network of GEO Shops as "One big outlet". And for its IT needs, GEO turned to Hitachi Open Middleware. In 2001, GEO centralized its mission-critical data in an online system, combining "HiRDB", a scalable database, with "OpenTP1", a distributed transaction management. GEO then created a Web system and intranet portal using the "Cosminexus" E-business platform, to achieve an advanced "Click and mortar" model.
