Alan Quinlan, a developer with Ken Cook Co., wrote to let me know that he used Mach-II to develop the John Deere Bookstore. This is a large site that provides all of the technical literature for John Deere internal employees, dealers, and the average consumer for the JD Hitachi, Construction, and Forestry divisions.

One interesting thing he notes is the site taps into another Mach-II application that is still under development. All database queries for products, submissions of orders, etc. all tap into their new inventory/order management system they call C.O.R.E. This is all developed with ColdFusion and Mach-II. Further, he says the John Deere site calles the C.O.R.E. listeners through a communication gateway. He describes it as a universal system with limitless Mach-II front ends. Their other customers like Volvo Cars, Ingersoll-Rand, and others will also be moving into this new system.

It's great to see Mach-II making inroads into large enterprises.

Thanks, Alan, for submitting your site. To you other Mach-II developers, if you haven't submitted your site what are you waiting for?
