Operational Impact
In moving to the Ingres open source database, C&K Market expects to leverage the benefits of the open source model, including cost savings and integration with other open source applications, such as graphical reporting tools. | |
Access to the open source development community will enhance C&K Market’s own development team, extending its development resources while enabling the four-person team to focus on requests from across the C&K Market chain of stores. | |
Quantitative Benefit
In the corporate office, about 80 people access the database on a near daily basis, for payroll, accounts payable, and other applications. | |
At store levels, users can get into the pricing system that’s also built on Ingres –about 200 people at any given time. | |
