SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union Engages Employees and Increases Member Satisfaction | 2009-02-01 | Oracle |
| This vision guided SchoolsFirst FCU when it began investigating possible replacements for its intranet. The old intranet was unable to supply adequate functionality or workflow processes to support a dynamic and distributed organization. This resulted in maintenance of numerous duplicate and outdated information sources and several navigation and usability issues that hampered productivity and increased the learning curve for new users. SchoolsFirst FCU identified Oracle WebCenter Suite (previously known as BEA AquaLogic User Interaction) as the best platform to meet its business needs.

Partner Portals - What's in It for Banks | 2009-01-15 | Infosys Technologies |
| Portals, as referred herein, are websites that aim to be entry points to the World Wide Web, typically offering search engines and/or links to useful pages, and possibly news or other services. These services are usually provided for free in the hope that users will make the site their default home page or at least visit it often. Popular examples are Yahoo and MSN. Most portals on the Internet exist to generate advertising income for their owners; others may be focused on a specific group of users and may be part of an intranet or extranet. Some may just concentrate on one particular subject, like technology or medicine, and are known as vertical portals.

PBS and the Google Search Appliance | 2009-01-01 | |
| The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is a 34-year-old private nonprofit media enterprise, owned and operated by 349 U.S. public television stations. As with any site providing information that can change frequently, search is increasingly important to PBS. But budget constraints and earlier decisions had led the organization to rely on a freeware search application that was no longer up to the task of supporting millions of users. Using Google Search Appliance, PBS no longer worried about operating system compatibility to run the search engine, and software updates are included in the license.

Google Case Study: ApartmentRatings.com | 2009-01-01 | |

Xerox and the Google Search Appliance | 2009-01-01 | |
| Generating $16 billion in revenue in 2002, Xerox Corporation is the global leader in the document management business. The Group intranet contains thousands of PDF and HTML files and a smaller number of Microsoft Office documents, all hosted on one Solaris server running Apache. It had a very small budget to work with, and needed to find an inexpensive solution that didn't require a lot of effort. The low cost and easy deployment the Google Search Appliance offers won Smith over. They purchased the GB-1001, which can crawl up to 150,000 documents. Also, it required no additional resources to deploy.

The National Park Service and the Google Search Appliance | 2009-01-01 | |
| A bureau of the U.S. Department of the Interior, The National Park Service (NPS) has protected America's parks and monuments since 1916. Federal government's proprietary search tool, FirstGov, was not delivering complete or accurate results, which meant the NPS was hearing from frustrated users. NPS deployed Google Search Appliance which has to learn from what people are searching for in order to develop new content areas. Also, it was implemented Google search on its intranet site as well.

Secure Enterprise Search: Version 10.1.8.4 | 2009-01-01 | Oracle |
| Internet searches have shown that significant information uplift can accrue from search technology. Without search engines, the Internet would still have billions of web pages, but surfers would have to know URLs a priori, or navigate through directories, to locate pages of interest. Clearly it is Search that makes Google popular, and the Internet more useful even as the amount of information on it grows at a rapid pace. Proliferation of information also exists in the enterprise; however enterprises have so far not benefited from the information uplift that good search provides. This has been largely due to the differences between the Intranet and the Internet.

Anti-Lock Brake Systems Manufacturer Grants Employees Remote Access to Critical Systems Via VeriSign Unified Authentication | 2008-12-14 | Verisign |
| Staff on business trips or vacation needed remote access to Shanghai Automotive Brake Systems Co., Ltd. (SABS)'s critical applications - an activity not permitted by the existing security system. SABS chose to implement VeriSign Unified Authentication and today, many employees have been given One-Time Password (OTP) tokens and can access SABS's SAP R/3 enterprise resource planning system, as well as the company's intranet when they are away from the office. The challenge was that traveling staff needed secure remote access to the company's intranet and critical ERP systems. SABS deployed VeriSign Unified Authentication that is cost effective and has minimal impact on SABS's existing systems - imposing only a nominal amount of incremental network traffic.
