IBM Case Study: Whirlpool Corporation

Overview Whirlpool has its home base in Benton Harbor, Michigan. Whirlpool's processing methods, particularly for its middle-tier trade partners-which comprise 25 percent of its total partner base-were inefficient and costly in time and money. Following the guidelines of the IBM Application Framework for e-business, Whirlpool built its portal with IBM WebSphere Application Server, Advanced Edition, IBM Net.Commerce (now part of the IBM WebSphere Commerce Suite family), IBM HTTP Server, IBM VisualAge for Java and IBM Commerce Integrator with IBM MQSeries. Working in concert, these technologies have enabled a fast, easy Web self-service ordering process that has cut the cost per order to under $5 a saving of at least 80 percent.
