whitepaper Aerospace Firm Moves From Mainframe to Microsoft SQL Server, Saves Time and Money2008-05-01 Microsoft
  L-3 Vertex Aerospace has more than 11,000 staff at 300 locations around the world to service 3,500 aircraft, including 89 distinct types, primarily for the U.S. government. Bidding on new contracts requires drawing on millions of rows of accounting and inventory data, which had been stored on an IBM 3090 mainframe computer that was difficult and expensive to maintain. As L-3 Vertex's business grew, it needed a more flexible system that was easier to use. The company moved the system to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, which dramatically reduced costs, cut the turnaround time on queries from weeks to days, and allowed users to run their own analytics using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.

whitepaper VicUrban Adopts Standardized IT Architecture to Create Robust, Secure Information System2008-05-01 Oracle
  Following the merger, VicUrban conducted a review of the information technology infrastructure inherited from each organization. It soon became obvious that a change was needed; one organization had based its financial system on Oracle while the other on Microsoft. Working with disparate software systems proved to be ineffective, costly, and restrictive. Following a comprehensive evaluation, VicUrban selected Oracle Database and a range of Oracle E-Business Suite applications to build its new environment. The software provided a robust and secure information system that required minimal modification. The agency also adopted Oracle CRM On Demand to make it easier for staff to access and capture customer information.

whitepaper Fujitsu Case Study: UKAEA2008-05-01 Fujitsu
  The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) uses, handles and stores a wide range of radioactive materials as part of its role in restoring the environment of nuclear sites. Users or support staff were often experts of their own systems, but couldn't understand or maintain others in the UK industry, so 'Comparing notes' was proving unnecessarily difficult. UKAEA approached Fujitsu at this time with no major plan, just a problem that needed solving. Fujitsu chose a combination of Microsoft and Oracle systems with web portal technology to make this possible, i.e. to successfully design and implement a package to process, update and report on nuclear and radioactive materials throughout the supply chain.
