Datatex and IBM®: A Longstanding Partnership Fueled by Innovation

Datatex is proud to highlight its enduring partnership with IBM® , a collaboration that has been instrumental in enhancing our ERP system for the textile and apparel industry.

Since our inception in the late 1980s, Datatex has integrated IBM®’s robust technologies to deliver scalable and reliable solutions to our clients worldwide.

A Partnership Rooted in Innovation

Established between 1987 and 1990, the collaboration between Datatex LTD and IBM®  began with a shared vision of leveraging technology to optimize manufacturing processes.

Early on, Datatex incorporated IBM® Db2® into its ERP solutions, recognizing the database’s capability to handle complex data management needs essential for the textile sector.

Milestones in Collaboration

Over the years, the partnership has achieved significant milestones:

Independent Software Vendor (ISV) and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Agreements: These agreements have allowed Datatex to embed IBM® Db2® seamlessly into our ERP offerings, providing clients with a unified and efficient system, supporting both, on-premises and cloud environments.

Integration of Advanced Db2®  Features: The adoption of IBM®  Db2®12.1 has introduced AI-powered query optimization, enabling automated performance tuning, predictive analytics, and intelligent query optimization. This advancement has resulted in up to three times faster performance, enhancing decision-making processes for our clients.
