Case Study: Floral Giant Improves System Performance by 400% to Support Peak-Volume Mother's Day Rush.

In a recent survey of IT professionals using Oracle®, 48% of respondents said they are considering alternatives to Oracle more seriously than they were just one year ago. Why? 73% of them pointed to the high cost of running Oracle.

FTD®, one of the largest floral companies in the world, went looking for such an alternative to power the external reporting for its mission-critical ARGO shipping administration system, built on Oracle. FTD saved 83% in Oracle license costs by moving their reporting from Oracle to EnterpriseDB® Advanced Server, the world's leading Oracle-compatible database.

Don't miss this real-world case study and learn how EnterpriseDB helped make FTD's Mother's Day rush an overwhelming success.

Attend this webinar and learn how FTD was able to:

• Offload reporting from production order-processing Oracle servers for one-sixth the cost of new Oracle servers
• Improve performance by 400% to support peak-volume Mother's Day season, without costly hardware upgrades
• Run existing Oracle Reports with little or no modification
• Automatically replicate data on Oracle servers to EnterpriseDB
• Provide world-class support to FTD's 200+ floral partners across the country
