Petrosoft and IBM (NYSE:IBM) have entered into a strategic
partnership to develop its fourth-generation site integration
network for the retail and downstream petroleum industries. IBM’s
Informix Enterprise Edition provides an extremely powerful database
to leverage the capabilities of Petrosoft’s site integration
network solutions. These solutions are built using industry
standards and leverage today’s most advanced enterprise databases,
network architectures, data exchanges, and data models.
“With IBM Informix and the support of Advanced
DataTools, we are taking the Direct Connect Site Integration
Network to the next level. We are increasing its processing power
and adding new capabilities such as data encryption, management,
and replication to unlock the real value of IoT for the retail and
petroleum industries. It accelerates the digital transformation of
brick-and-mortar operations,” said Sergei Gorloff, CEO of
Petrosoft.
“IBM is excited to help Petrosoft harness
Internet of Things (IoT) technology and embedded IBM® Informix®
databases to give clients ultra-fast, up-to-date insight into all
aspects of their fuel and retail operations,” said Joe Costabile,
Business Unit Executive, Embedded Analytics Solutions for IBM
Analytics. “In addition, Informix replication features enable a
global footprint, especially in areas where there is limited
connectivity. These capabilities are helping to boost safety,
efficiency and profitability.”
This fourth-generation solution responds to the
growing use of retail IoT solutions, increased security concerns,
and compliance requirements. Petrosoft’s CEO, a retail operator and
engineer, recognized the need to develop this fourth-generation
site integration network to meet the industry’s changing
environment. It enables retailers to take advantage of the
operational improvements provided by IoT solutions without being
overwhelmed by the growing complexity of forecourt and in-store
device tracking and compliance. Ultimately, this solution is
designed to help retailers gain faster, deeper insights into their
operations while meeting growing consumer demands.
“The IBM Embedded Solution Agreement (ESA) has
enabled Petrosoft to launch this solution quickly, analyze and
optimize their IoT Data with the best in class IBM software, and we
are looking forward to an even closer alignment in the future,”
said Joe Costabile, Business Unit Executive, Embedded Analytics
Solutions for IBM Analytics.
