Liberty Travel Selects Applimation Informia Data Archiving Solution For Enterprise Archiving Initiative

Applimation InformiaT solution to improve ERP performance, reduce hardware costs, and simplify Oracle migration.

Chicago, IL - May 2nd , 2007 - Applimation, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise data management solutions for packaged and custom applications, announced today that Libgo Travel, Inc., one of the world's leading travel companies with retail stores in 204 neighborhoods along the East Coast and in Florida, has selected the Applimation Informia Archive solution. Libgo Travel plans to use Informia to implement an enterprise archiving initiative that will simplify its upcoming Oracle upgrade as well as improve Oracle performance while eliminating the need for costly new hardware.

Said Val Thomas, CIO of Libgo Travel, "Since we implemented Oracle to manage project accounting, HR and payroll operations throughout our organization three years ago, our database size has grown steadily and is now over 1.4 terabytes. As a result, operations, reporting, backups, as well as development, testing and QA have gradually slowed. By reducing the size of our production data sets, the Informia Archive solution will enable us to improve Oracle performance without adding expensive additional storage and processing hardware, now and into the future."

Applimation Informia Archive lowers infrastructure and maintenance costs, streamlines application upgrade processes and helps meet regulatory requirements by identifying inactive data and archiving it in online data stores that are seamlessly accessed through the Oracle E-Business Suite user interface. The Informia Archive Dashboard adds further value by enabling Oracle application administrators to continuously monitor the distribution of data and optimize application performance through proactive data archiving.

"Libgo Travel is an excellent example of how organizations can easily use Informia Archive to manage the growth of structured data to improve operational efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership," said Bob Markese, CEO of Applimation. "Informia has been designed specifically to enable organizations like Libgo to manage the impact of data growth in both production and testing environments through data identification, relocation and archiving. As a result, Libgo can increase application performance and facilitate testing and development, while ensuring the integrity of critical business information and reducing storage costs."
