Case study
Univar USA chose to run IBM Data Studio on IBM DB2 9 for z/OS with pureXML™ to simplify work for developers and speed the development of high-quality applications.
Univar credits pureXML with making it easier to work with XML documents, which are traditionally difficult to modify and maintain. “The most interesting aspect of pureXML is that there was so much work going on behind the covers to deliver it that it turned what used to be quite a tricky or challenging area into something completely mundane,” said Kevin Campbell, application architect for Univar USA.
Campbell also credits DB2 9 for z/OS with pureXML with giving Univar the freedom to “pursue application solutions that are not constrained by the technical limitations of a product.”
As America’s leading industrial chemical distributor, Univar is saving 50 to 75 percent on development costs while improving developer productivity by 25 to 50 percent.
