When ValueCentric found itself facing a rapidly changing business
environment and a need for greater information security, it decided
to migrate from MySQL-on-Red Hat Enterprise Linux to Oracle Database
on Oracle Enterprise Linux.

Based in Orchard Park, New York, ValueCentric started off in 2002 as
a pharmaceutical technology consulting firm running the MySQL open
source database management system (DBMS) and Red Hat Enterprise
Linux. But the company quickly realized a need for a
Software-as-a-Service -- or on demand -- offering to address a
growing industry shift toward fee-for-service business models.

ValueCentric has since evolved into a provider of on-demand data
management and performance analytics software for the pharmaceutical
industry. Company officials say the move to Oracle Database on Oracle
Enterprise Linux was crucial to the initiative's success.
