"We needed a database that could handle intricate datasets, process numerous complex transactions per second and support thousands of concurrent user sessions. A traditional relational database would have needed hundreds of tables and indexes to store the data – requiring investment in expensive top-end hardware to achieve the necessary performance. Since we are competing with companies like Google, which have enormous development resources at their disposal, it is crucial for us to be able to respond quickly to our customers' changing needs. We estimate that UniData enables us to bring new services to market two or three times faster than would be possible with a different database, so it gives us a major competitive advantage."
Justin Morshead, AdPrecision
"It not only works perfectly, but the system went from concept to live in less than a month. The speed was really impressive, but what is equally impressive is how well it works. We have had no problems at all, and from day one it functioned as we had planned."
Roger Walther, Alpmobil
"The UniVerse database gives us the ability to build new applications that can easily be deployed quickly and efficiently."
Doug Leupen, President & CEO, Entrinsik
"The business requirements at Danny's Automotive involved a high volume of data transaction processing coupled with a quick turnaround time on management reports. The dynamics of the Techfinity Software and Rocket U2 database software allowed us to achieve and maintain that correct balance, with the robustness of the U2 database ensuring a 99% uptime, another critical requirement."
Renier Smit, Financial Manager, Danny's Automotive
"What we are doing is truly unique in the financial world. We are so singular in our structure that our costs are almost incomprehensible to the industry. Our key differentiator is that we can execute all of our work much faster and much cheaper than any of our competitors, which would not be possible without UniVerse as the backbone of all of our integrated operations."
Robert Goldberg, President & CEO, e3m Investments
We needed a database solution that was robust enough to meet the corporate initiative for data security, and UniVerse offered the functionality we needed."
Dennis Smith, Financial & Administrative Controller, Johnson Matthey
"We've built our solutions on UniVerse from the very beginning, and we've never regretted that early decision. Rocket's powerful database delivers the speed, flexibility, and range of capabilities we needed to deliver a solution that handles documents, files, and video and audio records in one efficient, cost-effective package. A traditional relational database could never have handled these diverse types of media as quickly and inexpensively as UniVerse can."
Dave DeYoung, 1mage
"We needed a database that was ODBC compliant and that is where UniVerse came into the picture… Being able to store multiple pieces of information in one field is very efficient. People are amazed at the speed and responsiveness of a MultiValue database."
Matt Anfrejco, Owner, Polaris Information Systems
"One of the key reasons is that the Rocket U2 database is the fastest database in the police world. We can look at 100,000 records in a few seconds – in contrast, SQL takes a lot longer. Using SQL would cripple our investigations because it's so slow. That's one of the major reasons we use Hitech Systems. It's also incredibly easy to transfer data, so our systems are able to communicate seamlessly with each other."
Detective Lieutenant Wayne Hoss, San Mateo Police Department
"VISION is built on the Rocket UniVerse – a multidimensional database platform. Compared to a traditional relational database, UniVerse needs fewer tables, which makes it less complex to manage. In fact, UniVerse can provide excellent performance on relatively inexpensive hardware, without the need for extensive optimisation. Our customers can more or less leave the database to run itself, enabling them to focus on higher-value tasks.
Mark Kinnell, Managing Director, Selima Software
UniData is designed to offer very high levels of performance, even on comparatively low-end hardware – which makes it ideal for not-for-profit organisations operating with a tight IT budget". "In addition, UniData is designed to be embedded into applications such as Stratum, reducing the need for database administration and making life easier for non-technical users. The platform is so stable and reliable that the Society of Authors does not need to employ its own IT staff."
Nick Osborn, APT Solutions account manager
"We've also been able to build new features and functions over the years without having to tear down and rebuild our technology infrastructure. As an example, we integrate with PDA-based platforms so our chauffeurs can have the most accurate, up-to-date information such as a flight delay or cancellation. We also use Satnav data to provide the best possible service."
Darren Allsop, CIO, Tristar Worldwide Chauffeur Services
"Our UniData MultiValue database has been a game-changer for us. We have been using UniData for many years and have always been able to use it to rapidly implement complex business rules against large databases. Our competition, even with much larger IT budgets, struggle to roll out systems that are as functionally rich as ours is."
