GoFrugal Technologies and IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced the certification of RayMedi Head Quarters, a Web-based software product targeted towards the retail chain shops.

RayMedi HQ is designed to manage chain of retail outlets and consolidate the data at headquarters for business analytics. RayMedi HQ gives a real-time business status at headquarters from about every point of sale. RayMedi HQ primarily focuses on managing branch-wide sales, purchase, inventory, receivables and profits. It helps in controlling expenses, decreasing costs and increasing business profits.

GoFrugal tested RayMedi HQ in IBM Innovation Center for Business Partners, located at Bangalore, with IBM WebSphere Application Server. RayMedi HQ was also tested on IBM System i on Linux and IBM System p on AIX V6.1. While the solution is optimized to run 800 concurrent users loaded on IBM System x with IBM WebSphere V6.1, the average concurrent users are likely to be 200. A sizing guide was prepared for 200 concurrent user deployment. This testing helped GoFrugal set the performance and scalability benchmark for its flagship product RayMedi HQ.

Kumar Rajagopalan, Retail Solutions Leader, IBM India said, “We are proud to be working with GoFrugal in shortening their development and testing cycle by leveraging our resources at the IBM Innovation Center. This partnership is a testimonial of the expertise that our IT architects and specialists possess. It is our endeavor to enable business partners like GoFrugal with competitive advantages such as lower development cost, differentiation through innovation as well as faster product to market”

R.Santhana Gopalan, Director (Technical), GoFrugal Technologies said, “GoFrugal was able to benchmark performance of its RayMedi HQ application on IBM System x on Linux at IBM’s state-of-the-art facilities along with technical expertise and support provided by IBM. The system was able to handle 800 concurrent users among 50 retail outlets successfully on non-cluster environment. This makes us more confident in our product. Now we can go with RayMedi HQ solution to any size of business ranging from small to large enterprise retail chains”.
