The 360Store application suite now supports the open source database, MySQL. This gives retailers the ability to leverage existing technology and lower costs.

Solutions from the retail software vendor 360Commerce are based on the JavaTM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EETM). These solutions give a competitive advantage to retailers by enabling them to capture and leverage operational intelligence in real time.

360Store is a JavaTM technology-based application suite. It includes 360Store Point-of-Sale and 360Store Back Office. Both products are written in the Java programming language and built on the 360Commerce's FoundationEE, a multi-tier, network-centric architecture. They are designed to run on multiple hardware platforms, Java technology-enabled OS and JavaTM DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) API-compliant relational databases.

With 360Store Back Office, retailers can manage stores from anywhere. 360Store Point-of-Sale has what retailers need to deploy next-generation, Web-enabled POS functionality more quickly while leveraging current investments.

"360Commerce's flexible Java architecture and applications give retailers the ability to leverage technology they already own, choose from a wide range of platforms and databases, and quickly customize the applications to meet their unique business needs," said Steve Gannon, director of product development for 360Commerce. "Combine this with MySQL's ability to provide retailers with a widely-used and cost-effective database solution, and we have an offering that allows retailers to lower their total cost of ownership on a new store system and rapidly see ROI."

MySQLis a cost-effective option known for its performance, reliability and ease of deployment. As a cost-effective, proven solution for retailers, MySQL is quickly becoming a leader in the retail market. MySQL's architecture is easy to customize. MySQL is available on more than twenty different platforms, including major Linux distributions, UNIXR systems and Windows. MySQL offers a database server, MaxDB by MySQL, MySQL Control Center and connector drivers. They offer 24x7 support worldwide, training and consulting.

"With more than four million active installations, MySQL has become the core of many high-volume, business-critical retail and ecommerce applications," said Zack Urlocker, vice president of marketing at MySQL. "360Commerce is a recognized leader in Java technology-based point-of-sale solutions. The combination of their industry-leading technology and MySQL's broad range of supported platforms gives customers a best-of-breed solution that works with the systems they already have."
