This IDC study discusses the experience of Retail Decisions using GoldenGate database replication technology for its highly available, extreme performance card payment authorization and fraud detection systems.

"Retail Decisions chose GoldenGate's Transaction Data Management (TDM) platform because of its heterogeneity, its speed, and its ease of administration," says Carl Olofson, research vice president of information management and data integration software research at IDC. "In the big picture, software, system, and staffing costs must all be included in the evaluation of any choice of key software, as well as the long-term manageability of the technology in question - applications, RDBMS, replication, and other related software."
