The System i platform is extremely reliable and, because of its integrated design, enables Elie Tahari to support its business intelligence system with a small IT staff of three employees. Also, because the system is so easy to operate, these employees are able to concentrate on finding new ways of using technology to improve the business instead of just maintaining the company's IT environment.

For example, Elie Tahari recently started piloting a unique scorecard application running on System i that provides its managers improved visibility into the information gained from its business intelligence system.

If a manager receives a customized scorecard that shows a manufacturing delay in one of the company's factories, the manager can click through the application and drill down to find the cause and quickly work to correct the problem. Elie Tahari expects the new scorecard application will allow it to provide its customers with better service while reducing costs.

Elie Tahari's unique talent for dressing the sexy, sophisticated woman has evolved into a $500 million business, with a presence on five continents, in more than 600 US stores and in five free-standing boutiques.

IBM helped pioneer information technology over the years, and it stands today at the forefront of a worldwide industry that is revolutionizing the way in which enterprises, organizations and people operate and thrive.
