whitepaper For Pfizer, the Prescription Is .NET0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Pfizer engineers involved in the Groton plant identified some specific technology gaps. Although shop floor machines and enterprise-wide systems were fairly automated, the highly creative tasks of designing API processes and planning their production were not. In addition, chemists and engineers were spending too much time hunting down information and preparing documents, which took away from more productive work. The team of engineers also noted that there was little integration between existing systems. In 2001, a Pfizer team visited the Microsoft Technology Center in Austin, Texas. The system was developed using software that takes advantage of Microsoft .NET connection software, including Microsoft SQL Server 2000, the Windows Server 2003 operating system, the Visual Studio .NET 2003 development system, Web services, and the .NET Framework.

whitepaper Webster Financial Creates a Customizable Payment Solution0000-00-00 Oracle
  The banking industry depends on some of the world's most stalwart information systems to make payments, transfer funds, and manage liquidity. Unfortunately, in the modern world of real-time financial services - where e-commerce, microbilling, and self-service banking are fast becoming the norm - the batch-oriented, end-of-day processing of these legacy systems has become their undoing. Waterbury, Connecticut-based Webster Financial is using Oracle technology to evolve beyond static banking workflows, even as it improves transaction error rates and reduces costs. Using the industry-standard Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) in the context of a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Webster has created a payment processing solution that can be easily modified, based on customer, time of day, liquidity, or almost any other factor.
