Cars.Com Selects IBM Software to Drive Business Growth

Posted on: Monday, 21 April 2008, 12:00 CDT

IBM has announced that Cars.com, an online car shopping company, has selected IBM software to drive a multi-year service oriented architecture project that will help the online car shopping destination accelerate its business growth by delivering information on demand to car shoppers and advertisers.

Working with IBM and IBM premiere business partner Perficient, Cars.com has launched the Cars.com Architecture Makeover project to overhaul its information management infrastructure to deliver information as a service in support of the company's business strategy.

Cars.com chose IBM software and IBM System p servers for a new IT foundation to better enable Cars.com to accommodate new consumer site enhancements and increased marketing investments that are driving more value to the company's 16,000 dealer advertisers.

Cars.com is using a combination of IBM software products, including IBM WebSphere Portal, IBM WebSphere Process Server, IBM Information Server, Rational software delivery tools and Tivoli Monitoring. IBM WebSphere Process Server helps integrate all provisioning services at Cars.com and readily exposes data integration tasks from IBM Information Server so they can be quickly tapped to support a variety of business processes.
