whitepaper Strohl Systems Group Case Study: Mercedes-Benz USA0000-00-00 Strohl Systems Group
  Along with producing world-class automobiles, Mercedes-Benz USA prides itself on providing the highest quality customer service. This commitment to customer service, however, faced its greatest challenge in September 1999, when a storm named Floyd made its way up the East Coast of the United States. For Mercedes, the possibility that its customers would be among the thousands stranded by floodwaters along the eastern seaboard was very real. Now was not the time for its customer and roadside assistance services to suffer a communications failure. With a portion of its communications network knocked out, Mercedes-Benz quickly initiated its LDRPS disaster plan, rerouting its affected phone service to its hotsite in Sterling Forest. Amazingly, only six hours would pass before communications would be reestablished.

whitepaper Strohl Gets the Early Word Out With NotiFind0000-00-00 Strohl Systems Group
  Strohl Systems' employees got an early wake-up call from NotiFind one snowy morning in February. They figured it was an ideal opportunity to use NotiFind for the first time in a non-test scenario. Ninety-six percent of Strohl's 130+ employees were reached within five minutes of activation via landline and cell phone, and responded to NoiFind's instructions. That the remaining four percent was not reached was not due to any fault of NotiFind, but instead occurred because of inaccuracies in recipients' listed contact method. Signore's preference of NotiFind over having to rely on call trees was obvious. Utilizing NotiFind was simple for Strohl since they had already built their plans and call trees in LDRPS.

whitepaper Staying One Step Ahead0000-00-00 Strohl Systems Group
  In Fall 2003, Southern California was ravaged by wildfires. Pushed by the Santa Ana winds, the fire, which came to be known as the Simi Valley fire, would eventually burn more than 100,000 acres in Ventura County and parts of northwestern Los Angeles County. Within those acres lay Countrywide Financial's largest facility... a campus called Simi Main, where there are more than 5000 employees, including the Loan Administration department. The vice president of business continuity at Countrywide, meanwhile, was following the first steps of the business continuity plans. Using LDRPS, his team - most working from remote locations - devised a list of immediate contacts and a game plan for the coming days.

whitepaper Investment in 64-Bit Intel Itanium 2 Servers Pays Returns for CommSec2006-07-17 Microsoft
  As Australia's largest online financial services provider, Commonwealth Securities Limited (CommSec) needs to ensure that the internal and external Web sites it maintains, which receive more than 27 million hits a day, are providing the fastest and most effective user experience possible.

A 4-way Intel Architecture server running 1.5GHz Intel Itanium 2 processors and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 manages the logging, processing, storage and analysis of Web user logs relating to 40 million weekly hits served up by dozens of Web servers running CommSec's many internal and external transactional sites.
