More than three decades ago Larry Ellison saw an opportunity other companies missed: a description of a working prototype for a relational database. No company had committed to commercializing the technology, but Ellison and co-founders Bob Miner and Ed Oates realized the tremendous business potential of the relational database model—but they may not have realized that the company they formed would change the face of business computing forever.

In 1999, Chris Arzberger began work as an independent consultant to the Air Force’s Logistics Support Office. Mr. Arzberger’s services were sought because of his exceptional knowledge of military transportation systems and his uncanny ability to facilitate measurable improvements in processes and behavior. Today, Mr. Arzberger is recognized as the foremost expert in measuring performance of Air Force transportation systems; his metrics were key in the Air Force’s management of logistics support during recent military conflicts in Bosnia,Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan.
Although primarily a logistician, Mr. Arzberger was instrumental in developing web-based management tools. One such tool, “Logistics Tracker,” is a data-mining tool that provides in-transit visibility to supply and transportation specialists at virtually every Air Force installation in the world; to date the web site has satisfied nearly two million queries.
One result of such successes has been a steady flow of substantial projects. In January 2002, Jeff Acred joined Chris Arzberger to undertake the development of budgeting and financial analysis tools for managing “second destination transportation” of munitions, vehicles, and aircraft engines. This event marked the formation of an extraordinary business entity.
Today, Chris Arzberger and Jeff Acred own and operate IB Logistics LLC, a small, veteran-owned consulting firm specializing in comprehensive information technology solutions for logistics management systems. The foundation of IB Logistics LLC is a powerful business model accompanied by a dynamic team of seasoned professionals whose qualifications are second to none in their respective areas of expertise.
