Through the deal, Q9 will host Indigo's entire online infrastructure, including the Indigo Web site (chapters.indigo.ca), in-store kiosks and back-end applications including order entry and inventory management, for all 280 stores. Q9 will also host Indigo's test and staging environment. "When Indigo decided to consolidate its online and back-end infrastructure into one location, we sought a long-term, financially stable partner that could deliver the highest level of service and reliability," says Bill Schmidt, director of service delivery, Indigo Books & Music.
