whitepaper ChangAn Auto Cuts HR Management Costs by 30%, Reduces Payroll Processing Time by Half2008-04-01 Oracle
  Prior to 2007, each ChangAn Auto subsidiary used a separate system to manage human resources functions such as recruitment, performance evaluation, and payroll. This made it almost impossible for head office managers to obtain an accurate picture of HR activities across the group. As HR costs escalated, ChangAn Auto decided to standardize on a single HR management platform. The company turned to Oracle for a solution. ChangAn Auto had earlier developed an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system using a range of Oracle E-Business Suite products, and choosing an HR solution from the same vendor would ensure seamless integration with the existing Oracle platform. With the help of Oracle Partner Chongqing Helpgo Information Technology, ChangAn Auto designed and implemented a new Oracle HR management system.

whitepaper HP Open Extensibility Platform: Streamlining Paper-Intensive Business Workflows2008-04-01 Hewlett-Packard
  MultiFunction Peripherals (MFPs) are transforming business workflows. The initial motivator for deploying these devices in the enterprise office was cost savings from the consolidation of copier, print, scan and fax devices. This reduced maintenance costs, power consumption and warranty costs and yielded lower space requirements. Once MFPs were deployed, many companies found that the digital send feature (the ability to scan a document to e-mail) reduced distribution costs and streamlined the movement of paper in the enterprise. This trend for streamlining paper-intensive business processes has continued to the point where the term "Multifunction peripherals" is no longer accurate. These devices have now transformed into clients of business processes.
