Financiera Alcanza Centralizes Credit Information on Oracle Database | 0000-00-00 | Oracle |
| Financiera Alcanza, which began operations in 2003 as a Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Limitado, was founded to offer personal loans to middle-class Mexicans.

The challenge was to centralize the system to guarantee data access and grant, manage, report, and charge customers for credit granted by the company through an open banking system.

Local Bank Improves Customer Service and Competitive Advantage With Upgrade | 0000-00-00 | Microsoft |
| American National Bank of Fremont has grown from U.S.$30 million in assets in 2000 to $150 million in 2007. To continue its growth, the bank chose to focus on personalized customer service to differentiate itself from the region's larger banks, many of which are becoming more impersonal as mergers consolidate the industry. That focus required a computer system that fulfilled two important functions. It had to be fast enough that employees could find information and answer questions quickly, and it had to be secure and reliable enough that the bank's one-man IT department could support it easily. To meet those goals, American National Bank decided to upgrade to the Windows Vista operating system.

| Headquartered in Dusseldorf, Germany, Vodafone D2 serves 27 million mobile phone users. As a result of rapid growth, the company's IT infrastructure became increasingly complex and difficult to manage over time. It was also based on outdated technologies that were no longer supported by their manufacturers. To address these issues, Vodafone standardised its IT infrastructure at head office and eight branch offices using Microsoft technology. The server-side architecture was migrated to Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and 12,000 desktop machines to Microsoft Windows XP Professional. Vodafone and Tireno also introduced a Lifecycle Management System. The Lifecycle Management System acts as a central data pool for the administration of hard and software.

The Alberta Teachers' Association Improves Communication With Integrated Technology | 0000-00-00 | Microsoft |
| Established nearly 90 years ago to promote the teaching profession in Alberta, Canada, the Alberta Teachers' Association (ATA) advances the goals of public education, safeguards standards of professional practice, and advocates for its 33,000 members. A traditionally decentralized organization, the ATA made a strategic decision to centralize IT operations and upgrade and standardize aging, heterogeneous systems. To realize this vision, the organization needed a technology foundation that would help improve interoperability and integration, ensuring a seamless flow of information among departments and external stakeholders. The ATA is taking advantage of the Microsoft .NET Framework to help it realize that vision. Desktops were also upgraded with the Windows XP operating system.

Merrill Lynch Reduces Security Maintenance and Enhances Wireless Support | 0000-00-00 | Microsoft |
| Merrill Lynch wanted to establish a consistent environment for its 75,000 desktops, which were on multiple versions of the Microsoft Windows desktop operating system. A standardized desktop environment would enable the Merrill Lynch IT staff to manage updates efficiently and enable developers to write applications that take advantage of the latest technologies. After upgrading the vast majority of its desktops to Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 1 in November 2004, the company immediately launched an initiative to move to Windows XP Service Pack 2. That migration, completed by late 2005, is adding significant security enhancements, reducing update maintenance and support time, and simplifying wireless setup for users.
