I agree: "the time required to process financial month close transactions was reduced from 4-6 hours to 10-11 minutes" doesn't give any insight into how this was done, how it was set up before, etc.. On a side note, I had installed DB2 Express-C on an Ubuntu machine, did a distribution upgrade, and DB2 refused to work again. In fact, it broke in such a way that apt-get couldn't remove DB2.. and I couldn't find any information on how to fix it. It could be 10x faster than MySQL, but at least MySQL is well documented and supported and has an active community. To me, that counts for a lot.
