Enterprisedb Bolsters European Presence
(InfoWorld) - Open-source database company EnterpriseDB is expanding its sales office in London, part of a move by the company to try to grow its business worldwide. EnterpriseDB opened a development center in Oxford, England, in April 2006 and had a small sales team in London, said Simon Riggs [cq], senior database architect. The company now plans to hire additional sales staff and start doing marketing activities from London, he said.

The company claims it is now attracting big customers looking to reduce their software licensing costs. EnterpriseDB competes with open-source database market leader MySQL. The companies offer a version of their software for free and also charge for maintenance and support services. EnterpriseDB announced new pricing and support options last week. EnterpriseDB was founded in 2004. It is based in Iselin, New Jersey, and has about 130 employees. The private company closed $20 million in new investment in August 2006 lead by Fidelity Ventures....
