Business Integration Technology Case Study: Novus International | 2008-04-25 | Business Integration Technology |
| Based on decades of research and development at Monsanto, Novus International, Inc. was formed in 1991 and employs over 350 people in more than 20 countries. New business initiatives resulted in dramatic increases in the volume of sales orders and shipments in Novus' European operations. Although most of the 13 warehouses and 16 transporters wanted to communicate with Novus electronically, many did not have the required infrastructure. A change like this would require effort on their part to implement an integration solution. Novus hired Business Integration Technology to assist in the design, development and implementation of an integration solution for their Novus Europe team.
