Case study
Storebrand Group chose IBM DB2_9 for easier retrieving and updating of its XML data. IBM DB2 9 with pureXML™ allows the financial service company from Norway to speed up reporting capabilities while decreasing costs.
“Our development time using DB2 9 data server as our pureXML store is a radical improvement over existing XML shred technology. We are now able to make schema changes in minutes rather than days and will be able to dramatically improve our customer response time,” said Thore Thomassen, senior enterprise architect for Storebrand Group.
And with DB2 9’s ability to support that pureXML data, Storebrand has seen performance improvements and greater flexibility in managing XML.
“With the pureXML support available in IBM DB2 9, it is far easier, faster and less expensive to run queries, share and retrieve data, and make document changes in response to new business requirements without impacting applications,” said Thomassen.
