Overview:

Ace Hardware, headquartered in Oak Brook, Ill., was established in 1924 and today serves over 6,000 independently owned and company owned hardware retailers in 50 states and over 70 countries. The $13 billion cooperative competes against "Big box" warehouse-style stores such as Home Depot and Lowes. The company wanted to analyze wholesale, inventory, and Point of Sale data from thousands of stores in real time. As a solution the company deployed Informatica PowerCenter and Informatica PowerCenter Connect for IBM MQSeries. This resulted in real time data warehouse and POS analysis, improved pricing structures, effective marketing programs, increased development productivity and solid performance gains.
