GoldenGate Software Welcomes SHAZAM, Haggen and Retail Decisions to Prestigious Customer Advisory Board
San Francisco, CA - March 4, 2008 - GoldenGate Software Inc., a leading provider of high availability and real-time data integration solutions, today announced that Terry Dooley, Senior Vice President of IT and CIO of SHAZAM, Harrison Lewis, Vice President and CIO at Haggen and Chris Uriarte, CTO of Retail Decisions, have joined other senior technology executives from Bank of America, Dell, DIRECTV, Overstock.com, UBS, and US Bank on GoldenGate's Customer Advisory Board (CAB). At the first semiannual meeting of 2008, board members met to discuss their current IT initiatives and priorities for the year ahead. The consensus from the gathering was that organizations are seeing the need for GoldenGate ® solutions across multiple areas of the business. In discussions with advisory board members, it was clear that companies today recognize the competitive advantage gained from using the GoldenGate real-time solutions to satisfy a variety of business and customer needs.
"Over the last 13 years, we have seen a significant increase in businesses requiring real-time data access, across a wide range of industry sectors, as well as an expansion and standardization for our solutions within our existing customer base," commented Ali Kutay, president and CEO of GoldenGate Software. "Many of our customers start out solving one business challenge and deploy GoldenGate for a major project but very quickly recognize the value and flexibility of the technology which is then deployed across other areas of the business. We invite those customers who lead their industries with cutting edge deployments of real time technology for our Advisory Board to serve as a voice for customers with similar business challenges."
Since the last CAB meeting in June 2007, GoldenGate has continued to grow its business through deployments across markets - from healthcare and banking to telecommunications and retail -where organizations are reaping the benefits of GoldenGate's real-time solutions. The new additions to the Customer Advisory Board reflect GoldenGate's growth in these key industry segments. In addition to a growing customer base, GoldenGate Software continues to see existing customers expand their use of GoldenGate across heterogeneous IT environments to meet a variety of business needs.
According to Terry Dooley, senior vice president of information technology and CIO for SHAZAM, "as a longstanding GoldenGate customer and new member to the CAB, it is great to interact with other businesses that are utilizing GoldenGate's solutions to gain competitive advantage. As CIO of one of the top 10 electronic funds transfer networks in the United States, I spend most of my time figuring out how to streamline operations and meet critical technology and business needs with innovative technology. GoldenGate's solutions have provided SHAZAM the ability to not only keep our critical applications continuously available, but also allowed our developers to focus on new projects because GoldenGate is very reliable, easy to deploy and maintain."
GoldenGate's CAB members use the flexible and scalable solutions for a variety of deployments, including continuous availability for a network of over 18,000 ATMs worldwide, meeting stringent service level agreements (SLA) for one of the world's fastest growing fraud detection service providers, maintaining over 300 installations for mission-critical heterogeneous database support and improving customer service and loyalty for innovative retailers.
The CAB will next meet at GoldenGate's annual international user conference, Real-Time 2008 taking place June 9th-11th in San Francisco, California.
