Since the 1990s, Burlington Coat Factory has made technological innovation a pivotal element of its business strategy for containing costs and boosting efficiency - an approach that has earned it widespread respect and recognition. As an innovator, the company has been quick to embrace beneficial new technologies. In one of its latest projects, completed in 2006, Burlington Coat Factory adopted a grid computing solution based on Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Real Application Clusters. The company adopted the platform because it saw it as the best and simplest way to manage the huge volume of data generated by its sales activities and the best way to shore up the system for the future.
