Looking to save some Cash – These guys are doing it!!!
May 13th, 2009
It feels great when you know you can deliver products to the market that people are really interested in; solutions that add value and not just set on the shelf. Today we shared 3 stories of how Ingres and Red Hat are helping customers save money and deliver robust solutions to their customers. The industries range from the financial segment (Biveroni Batschelet Partners AG – BBP), transportation industry (Allied Express), and include social media (Facebook- Connected Weddings) . In talking to these customers, there were several common threads among their requirements. They were all looking for a more cost effective means to providing services to their customers while ensuring secure, 24×7 access and the ability to scale as their business grew. Sounds like a reasonable request but hard to find in today’s business climate.
Open Source is uniquely position to help customers with these issues and with more pressure from today’s economic climate, it’s no wonder we are seeing more customers turn to open source. Ingres and Red Hat have joined forces to help customers take out costs, to give them more control over their budgets. With all the budget cuts everywhere you look, it feels great to be part of a company that is helping people reduce costs without cutting heads. Feels even better when you have been part of two companies that focus on reducing costs and helping solve real problems. (I used to work at Red Hat as well)
Got similar stories on how your solution is helping reduce costs with open source – Please share.
