Move to Microsoft SQL Server Reduces Cost, Boosts Performance in Financial Services

Overview For a quarter of a century, CheckFree has been making complex financial transactions easier for businesses and consumers. Part of the company's customer support operations is an application that logs customer interactions (totalling 4 terabytes) with its various online products. CheckFree rewrote an application for deployment as a .NET-connected solution on Microsoft SQL Server running on the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system. The system provides eight times faster performance than the project targeted, and provides a clear path for additional scale to meet future needs.
