Confio Software Helps Nonprofit Maximize Customer Shopping Experience

Boulder, Colo., Sept. 30, 2013 – Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee has implemented Confio Ignite to help improve the performance of its online MyGoodwillRewards loyalty program, which is enabled by SQL Server. With Ignite, Goodwill has been able to improve the speed of its SQL queries to make the customer shopping experience better, even without a fulltime database administrator (DBA) managing the effort.
 
As a nonprofit, Goodwill relies on technology that can make the organization more efficient and effective. The simplicity and functionality of Ignite has proved to be precisely the kind of tool Goodwill required to improve performance.
 
“Ignite has taken the guesswork out of identifying SQL Server performance issues for our MyGoodwillRewards program,” Ed O’Kelley, Senior Director of Information Technology, Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee, Inc. “We strive to maintain a quick and efficient customer shopping experience, and with Ignite, we can see real time feedback to ensure our SQL Server databases are helping to provide a positive customer experience.”
  
Ignite is a database performance monitoring solution that improves service and reduces the cost of operating Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 and Sybase databases in physical or VMware environments. Ignite also enhances integration between IT teams, creating a more fluid DevOps environment in enterprise organizations.
 
“Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee was able to see improvements within just days of the installation of Ignite,” said Max Rieboldt, Confio’s account manager. “It’s particularly gratifying that our simple, efficient solution was selected by Goodwill because we recognize and value the importance of their work in the community.”
