Intentia on IBM System i

For many years, thousands of Intentia customers have relied on IBM System i servers to be reliable, high-performance servers at the core of their business operations. Building on this foundation, the introduction of POWER5™ processor–based IBM i5 servers—the latest members of the iSeries family—takes performance to the next level.

Intentia is one of the world’s leading suppliers of collaboration software, serving more than 3,400 customers in the manufacturing, maintenance and distribution industries via a worldwide network spanning 40 countries. The Intentia Movex enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution is a leading Java™ program–based application, which runs primarily on System i servers. Complementary front-end applications—Movex Workplace and Movex Net Extension—were added to the IBM WebSphere® Application Server foundation to extend collaboration to the Web. These complementary applications, which previously ran only on Microsoft® Windows® platforms, are now available on the IBM i5/OS™ operating system—the latest generation of the OS/400® operating system, designed for the i5 server.

Thus, Intentia customers can now take advantage of iSeries reliability and performance for these front-end applications in addition to the Movex Business Engine back end. Because System i servers were designed to run multiple applications simultaneously, all three of these Intentia Movex applications can run on the same server, resulting in a simpler configuration and improved response time compared to a multiple-server setup.
