December 11, 2008 - Budco, North America’s service company specializes in custom direct mail programs, electronic marketing, eStores and associated fulfillment services Partnered with Idhasoft Ltd. to improve availability and scalability through oracle licensing.
Headquartered in Highland Park, Mich., Budco helps corporations address business communication problems by developing and executing custom-designed marketing and distribution initiatives. With nearly $100 million in annual revenues, the company boasts clients such as DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor Company, HoneyBaked Ham and Walt Disney.
Because customers rely on Budco’s ability to access databases and maintain electronic storerooms for their marketing initiatives, 24x7 availability of Budco’s applications is business critical. When availability and scalability – barriers to growth– started to become issues, Budco turned to Idhasoft, an expert in Oracle licensing, for help in negotiating an Oracle infrastructure agreement.
“The major issue was reliability, although scalability was a close second,” said Steve Swanson, chief information officer for Budco. “Due to repeated and unanticipated downtime, we were on the verge of our IT systems becoming a liability. To continue hosting customer sites and meeting our service level agreements, we had to make a large-scale change — one that would allow us to service clients effectively and continue to grow.”
Fortuitously, Swanson remembered meeting a company with unusual expertise at OracleWorld — Idhasoft. Led by Deke Johnson, president, Idhasoft’s experts have years of experience inside Oracle sales and work with companies to guarantee the right licensing at the right price.
“Our mission is to use our experience, knowledge and relationships to help our customers acquire the software they need at a cost they can afford. Our job is to match the desired solution with a price that meets everyone’s needs. Often, we have to help vendors understand why the deal is a good for everyone.” said Deke Johnson, President Idhasoft Ltd.
“The Idhasoft team did a great job of first understanding our business needs and then staying on point with Oracle to help drive a winning deal for everyone involved,” said Swanson. “Idhasoft knows how Oracle thinks and broke the log jam for us when we weren’t having success. Without Idhasoft, we would have been forced to implement a lower quality solution and make significant changes to both our business and IT philosophy.”
