THE HOME DEPOT Leading the Retailing Industry Through Distributed Business Applications

W	ith over 500 stores located across North America and a 25% annual growth rate, The Home Depot holds a track record that no other company in home improvement retailing can match. The multi-billion dollar corporation depends on a large number of manufacturers, or “trading partners,” to keep its stores stocked and its millions of customers happy. So when The Home Depot decided it needed a virtual messaging backbone to directly connect stores and suppliers, it selected ISOCOR.
U	sing a combination of ISOCOR’s messaging backbone servers and cutting-edge ISOTRADE™ EDI connectors, The Home Depot and its trading partners can exchange orders, sales information, invoices and shipping status, while The Home Depot itself can keep its 500 stores running smoothly and dramatically reduce administrative costs. This distributed business application has resulted in lower costs for The Home Depot and its suppliers and correspondingly higher profits. “We are really delighted with ISOCOR and the solution they provided,” said the Senior Manager of Network Architecture. “We expect our new messaging system to have a positive impact on our bottom line – both for us and for our trading partners.”
