RedPrairie Corporation's retail and supply solutions have been validated on IBM's Store Integration Framework, which means they officially integrate with the IT giant's web-oriented middleware platform.

This is based on IBM's flexible, scalable Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, better known as J2EE.

The framework is part of an initiative called Ready for IBM Retail Store Innovations, which brings together platform-independent software vendors to deliver proven solutions for the retail industry.

Validation shows that RedPrairie's offerings meet the rigorous demands IBM sets for next-generation, open-standards-based store environments.

RedPrairie's suite of retail applications aims to streamline, synchronise and optimise retail operations from the store shelf back through the network of suppliers.
