Stibo Catalog, a premier provider of product information
management technology solutions, announced the general availability of
STEP version 5.0. STEP 5 provides significant scalability and
performance enhancements that allow Stibo customers to scale STEP 5 to
previously unimaginable levels. The increased robustness and
scalability of STEP make it possible for businesses to manage many
millions of SKUs and thousands of concurrent users on the system. STEP
5 has been thoroughly tested for the past several months by a large
Stibo customer, and is already being deployed as the PIM of choice in
other global customer projects as part of larger Master Data
Management initiatives.
"STEP´s role as an integral application within our customers´
environments is continually expanding," says Simon Walker, Stibo
Catalog´s Senior Product Manager for STEP. "Several Stibo customers
require thousands of users on the STEP system, while maintaining
multiple millions of products in dozens of languages and versions.
STEP 5 can handle this demand."
Based on increased customer demand, STEP 5 now supports Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 Server, as well as BEA WebLogic Server 10.
"STEP 5 is leading the PIM market to the next level as Executives
review their MDM strategy," says Mikael Lyngso, CEO of Stibo Catalog.
"Stibo´s proven track record, market expertise, and dedication to
customer success have been trademarks for us in the past, and will be
crucial for our continued growth as a leader in the PIM market."
