	Know your stores will not shut down unexpectedly If a retail application fails, the business shuts down. FuseSource is experienced in building mission-critical applications and knows how to correctly architect and configure Apache technology. FuseSource provides the enterprise-class support and services you demand.

Typical Architecture

Retail companies, who are experts at minimizing every expense across the supply chain, are discovering that they can significantly reduce their IT cost center by replacing expensive, vendor-supplied messaging solutions with open source messaging tools. Once a solution is built, it can be deployed at 1000s of outlets at no additional cost:

The savings are dramatic when the solution is extended to 1000s of outlets, as is typical in large retail companies. Once a catalog, inventory, or compliance application is operational at headquarters, every outlet or franchise needs to be added to the network. With open source FuseSource, this can be done without incurring any license fees.
