The Domino Effect Online | 2001-05-29 | Microsoft |
| Domino faced significant challenges in moving to online consumable sales. Consumable sales represent around half of Domino's business but order processing can be costly and time-consuming and parts delayed. While Domino already has a web site, it is information only and consumables cannot be transacted through it. Domino decided to maintain this site and create an additional site to handle consumables sales. They chose Parity because it could provide a cost-effective solution, technology that could handle multiple languages and Microsoft components to create a scalable, integrable and flexible solution. The Active Server Pages model fitted their needs and meant that they would have to do little modification for each new country joining the network.
