whitepaper DS Group Upgrades to Enterprise-Level Infrastructure to Boost Market Penetration and Return on Investment2008-07-01 Oracle
  DS Group wanted to ensure unparalleled performance for Tabula Clinica, Europe's first truly paperless electronic mobile medical record, to meet the needs of one of Italy's largest public hospital groups with a total of 55 wards, 2,500 users, and 300 devices. The challenge was to build a scalable solution that integrates seamlessly with back-office systems and can incorporate new functionality as it is developed. DS Group migrated from Microsoft SQL Server to Oracle Database 10g to benefit from higher performance, availability, and security and embedded Oracle Database 10g Lite into Tabula Clinica handsets to allow clinical staff to access and amend patient data at the bedside, even in the absence of a network connection.

whitepaper Changan Suzuki Cuts CAD Licensing Costs by 80% With Enterprise Visualization Solution2008-07-01 Oracle
  Prior to implementing AutoVue, designers and manufacturing technicians had to use CAD workstations installed on specific computers dispersed throughout ChangAn Suzuki's facilities to view documents. This method of collaboration was soon considered unproductive and cumbersome, especially as the company had to spend thousands of dollars buying new hardware and software licenses to accommodate the increasing number of users. With AutoVue 3D Professional Advanced, engineers, designers, and manufacturing personnel now have secure, real-time access to hundreds of document types via a Web browser. AutoVue enabled access to large 3D models that were uploaded on ChangAn Suzuki's intranet without requiring the original CAD design creation software.

whitepaper Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Makes Better Decisions With Microsoft Business Intelligence2008-06-25 Microsoft
  CMS was tracking performance manually, and only a few times a year. The Board of Education would ask for custom, ad-hoc reports that required significant district resources to produce and that offered very little transparency into program effectiveness. With limited resources, rapid growth, and hundreds of different programs, it was imperative that CMS get real-time access to performance data so that it could make better decisions. With a performance management solution based on Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007, CMS is delivering dashboards to the Board of Education and the central office that allows them to see, at a glance, whether improvement efforts are on track.
