Impire AG Scores with IDS

Impire AG decided on IBM’s Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) to provide 3D sports graphics and statistics in real time for broadcast during professional sporting events.

Impire wanted a high-performance database platform to provide management, processing and mining of data for instantaneous play analysis and statistical content. Impire is just one example of a company benefiting from increased business value delivered by IDS.

“As a high availability data server that delivers real-time data streaming, IDS enables us to replicate data instantaneously across multiple servers and meets our requirements for live broadcasting of sports replays and analyses,” said Knuth Hartlieb, the head of IT development for Impire AG.

With IDS, Impire has improved its ability to provide information on demand, system availability and reliability, and development of new capabilities and features to meet customer demands. Impire has also seen faster and more in-depth analysis with data mining, improved ability to quickly modify content, improved employee productivity and a better collaboration with employees and customers.

Impire is an example of a growing number of companies profiting from IBM technology innovations.
