Apps Purchases: 10+ Million Software Purchases
Founded in 2010, APPS RUN THE WORLD is a leading technology intelligence and market-research company devoted to the application space. Leveraging a rigorous data-centric research methodology, we ask the simple B2B sales intelligence question: Who’s buying enterprise applications from whom and why?
Our global team of 50 researchers has been studying the digital transformation initiatives being undertaken by 2 million + companies including technographic segmentation of 10 million ERP, EPM, CRM, HCM, Procurement, SCM, Treasury software purchases, aggregating massive amounts of data points that form the basis of our forecast assumptions and perhaps the rise and fall of certain vendors and their products on a quarterly basis.

Ace Hardware | Retail | 12500 | $9.5B | United States | IBM | IBM Db2 | Database Management | 2002 | n/a | In 2002, Ace Hardware implemented IBM Db2 as its Database Management platform to centralize enterprise data services. The implementation of IBM Db2 supported DB2 LUW on IBM pSeries AIX as a core deployment architecture, and the IBM Db2 environment was positioned to consolidate transactional and analytical workloads across the retail estate. The IBM Db2 deployment included functional capabilities for high availability and disaster recovery, storage tiering with flash for performance, and enterprise database administration. Operational activities documented include re-platforming SAP DB2 mainframe workloads to DB2 LUW, re-platforming mainframe workloads to AS400, and consolidating multiple job scheduling systems into a single enterprise scheduler to simplify operations and orchestration. Integrations and operational coverage extended across Unix, AS400, and enterprise storage systems, with IBM Db2 operating alongside IBM mainframe DB2 and IMS, Oracle, Teradata data warehouse, and Microsoft SQL Server environments as part of the broader estate. Data replication replaced tape backup for disaster recovery, and the implementation tied DB2 to storage tiering and replication workflows to reduce recovery exposure and streamline backups. Governance and operating model changes were led by an enterprise systems engineering and database management team responsible for Database Administration, data governance, enterprise data management, and master data management. Reported outcomes from the program included a $5 million cost avoidance tied to re-platform efforts, an improved Recovery Time Objective to 12 hours and a Recovery Point Objective to five minutes, and centralized management of a multi-million-dollar software maintenance budget. | |
