Case Study: DAI Rubicon achieves $150K–$200K annual operational savings and scalable, automated supply-chain delivery with Actian (Ingres Database)

Supply Chain Delivery Solution in the Amazon EC2 Cloud

DAI Rubicon, a provider of print, distribution and circulation management solutions for publishers, needed to improve its online ordering and logistics without increasing costs. Facing a high-volume, low-margin business with complex pricing and partner discounts, the company wanted a more transparent, scalable and easy-to-manage ordering experience for customers.

Working with Base2Services, DAI Rubicon deployed a 100% open-source point-of-sale and supply chain delivery solution (Ingres, JBoss, JBPM, DROOLS) hosted on Amazon EC2. The cloud-based system automated ordering, improved visibility and bottleneck detection, reduced infrastructure, support and licensing costs, cut staffing needs, and delivered faster scalability—expected to save $150,000–$200,000 annually.
