Case Study: Yamaha Motor Europe achieves 10X faster page loads with Progress Software DataDirect JDBC drivers

Yamaha Motor Europe - Customer Case Study

Yamaha Motor Europe, the European headquarters of Yamaha Motor Company, needed to fix serious database access performance issues after redesigning its dealer website and moving to Apache Tomcat on a virtualized environment. The operational site connects 1,500 dealers across 12 countries for spare parts, warranties, and claims, so slow page loads and crashes threatened a critical customer experience.

Progress Software replaced the default Microsoft SQL Server drivers with Progress DataDirect JDBC drivers. With help from the Progress support team, Yamaha achieved a 20X improvement in database access performance and a 10X improvement in page load time, with pages loading in about four to five seconds and the site becoming stable again across 12 languages.
