As part of its strategy, DFV AG uses commercial Open Source solutions for Business Intelligence (BI) and ETL. Representing the third technology layer in the IT stack, DFV sought to find a reliable database software solution that would then fit in with the existing IT infrastructure and hardware environment.

By using Vectorwise, the insurance company can aggregate its data and optimize analytics in order to perform complex analysis, some of them in real-time. Vectorwise is a high-performance database for interactive reporting and analysis that leverages the power of advanced mainstream CPUs. Vectorwise includes a database engine that uses vector-based processing and on-chip memory to achieve significant performance improvements for real-time inquiries and analyses compared to other databases. During a three-month test phase, which included continuous support by the German Actian team, Vectorwise was also tested for its integration capability with the existing BI and ETL tools.
