Connected Weddings

Connected Weddings has adopted Ingres Database to run the premier wedding planning application for Facebook. New Gravity Ventures built the Connected Weddings site on reliable and proven open source software comprising Ingres Database, Red Hat's JBoss Enterprise Middleware, and the Alfresco content management platform.

"New Gravity Ventures can achieve optimal ROI due to zero licensing fees, minimal compatibility testing, and is able to focus on content and innovation rather than software costs," said Dan Kerzner, CEO, New Gravity Ventures.

Allied Express

Allied Express is the leading courier and express freight company in Australia. Allied Express uses Ingres Database and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform for its Track and Trace system, used by both customers and employees to book and track freight in real time.

"The economics of open source software were certainly a plus, but our selection was based primarily on quality, the track records of both technologies, and the fact that JBoss is certified to work with Ingres,"said Robert Q.H. Bui, software development manager/IT manager, Allied Express Transport Pty Ltd.

"Partnering with open source database vendors like Ingres allow us to solve our customers problems with a full open source solution. Together, Ingres and Red Hat help our customers understand the value inherent in open source deployments," said Craig Muzilla, vice president, Middleware Products, Red Hat.

Ingres is also a founding member of the Open Source Channel Alliance, a consortium of open source ISVs that have signed distribution agreements to reach more resellers and systems integrators.
