ROME--()--Ingres Corporation, the leading open source database management company and pioneer of the New Economics of IT, announced today that Bucap S.p.A., a provider of outsourced document archiving and management services, has selected Ingres Database as its database of choice for its data management solution.
“Bucap has been very successful in implementing Ingres in a highly solicited database environment”
Bucap S.p.A. is a leading Italian company that has been providing outsourced document archiving and management services to enterprises and public administrations for more than 25 years. Today, Bucap serves more than 5,000 user accounts with over 354 million documents stored and provides full outsourcing services covering any requirements of physical and digital archiving, traceability, and data processing.
“Prior to Ingres, all information managed by Bucap could be retrieved locally and remotely by our employees, but due to the complexity and low reliability of the system, most of the queries were done through manual retrieval and physical mailing or faxing the document to the customer,” said Ruggero Rinaldi, General Manager at Bucap. “Bucap wanted to offer a better quality and up-to-date service to its customers and therefore created a service portal enabling customers to access all of their documentation. Ingres best responded to our economical and technical requirements and the decision has been supported by the enhanced performance, features, and ability to leverage an open source product.”
Bucap needed a system to be scalable, reliable, highly available, and easy to maintain in order to support the business processes related to the storage, indexing, retrieving, and displaying of the documents. The mission-critical database needed to be able to support an environment where more than 32,400 documents are being digitized and with over 280,000 transactions on a daily basis.
“Bucap has been very successful in implementing Ingres in a highly solicited database environment,” said Steve Shine, EVP of worldwide operations, Ingres. “Ingres is a very reliable database and has the unique position of being a truly enterprise-class open source database. The ability for Ingres to tackle mission-critical applications makes it perfect for these types of projects which require high availability and high transactions.”
“We are very satisfied with the Ingres software, services, and relationship,” continued Rinaldi. “We have been able to achieve very important goals and we are pleased to say that today, thanks to Ingres and to Ingres Database, our business is based on solid ground and we are in a position to develop new and innovative projects to respond to the challenging business opportunities offered by our customers.”
