Rational Commerce Limited was created
in the summer of 1997 to bring together a number of small, specialist Ingres and
OpenROAD consultancies to create a single company able to take on bigger and
more demanding engagements. From the beginning the company has specialized
exclusively in providing Ingres-based solutions, services and products. Our
purpose has always been to exploit the low cost and ease-of-management of Ingres
to develop inexpensive systems for our customers, and to help existing users of
the Ingres family of products to maximize their success and minimize waste by
providing upgrade services, training and support.
Rational Commerce analysts have a
minimum of ten years of in-depth Ingres expertise, and some have more than
twenty years experience with the product. We are able to support and enhance
core applications that have been quietly running our customers’ business for
decades, as well as their very latest web-based applications using J2EE, .NET
and emerging technologies such as SOA, PHP, RoR, and more.
Rational Commerce is an Ingres
Corporation Reseller Partner, authorized to sell Ingres and OpenROAD products
and services in the UK, Europe, and the Caribbean. Until the divestiture of the
Ingres business unit from Computer Associates, Rational Commerce was an invited
participant in the Computer Associates Ingres Product Advisory Council. The
Advisory Council has now been replaced by the Ingres VIP Program, in which we
continue to be involved.
Rational Commerce has partnerships and
cooperative relationships with several other companies, including DMT Inc. and
KB Computer Associates in the United States, and Vision Systems Software in the
Caribbean.
One of our directors (Roy Hann) is a
member of the UK Ingres User Association organizing committee, and is a past
elected member of the board of the North American Ingres Users Association. Each
year Rational Commerce responds to invitations to provide speakers for events
around the world, such as CA World, The Ingres Conference, the UK IUA
conferences, and the IUGN conference.
In addition to our formal business
relationships we also have strong personal relationships with key Ingres
decision-makers and product engineers.
