Massdiscounters, a leading discount retailer in South Africa—which operates Game and DionWired—was under pressure to modernize its IT landscape to improve organizational agility due to longer supply chains and growing competition.

Building upon its 25-year investment in Adabas and Natural, MassDiscounters relied on webMethods Integration Server to link multiple legacy apps with other systems in real-time to avoid the high costs & inefficiencies of “rip and replace” while identifying and addressing a significant number of process-related change requests.
