Overview Virgin Retail is a United Kingdom (U.K.) success story. Since the first Virgin record shop opened in 1971, the company has expanded its operations to 105 Virgin Megastores across the U.K. and Ireland. The group, which prides itself on customer service, decided it needed a stock-control solution that would provide employees with real-time information and help the company stay a step ahead of the competition. After researching a number of systems on the market, Virgin Retail chose Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 and worked with Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Xavor to deploy the solution at its headquarters in the U.K.
