whitepaper Turkish Electricity Distributor Raises Collection Rates 10 Per Cent With New Infrastructure0000-00-00 Microsoft
  TEDAS is the sole electricity distributor in Turkey. To ensure its premier status for the future, the company needed to overhaul its existing subscriptions, billing, and payments infrastructure. The solutions were expensive to manage, suffered data losses, and failed to prevent widespread fraud. Working with Microsoft Services and Microsoft Partner Meteksan Sistem, TEDAS deployed a new infrastructure that combined latest-version Microsoft enterprise software, such as Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition, with Intel Itanium 2 processor-based Unisys servers. The new application - developed using the Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft SQL Server - helped stop data loss, simplified administration, and made infrastructure management more efficient.

whitepaper Office Business Application Improves Sales Force Productivity, Helps Increase Sales0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Microsoft needed to make the customer data in its Siebel customer relationship management system and other applications more accessible and usable to the company's enterprise sales force. The Siebel UI was frustrating to use, forcing salespeople to spend too much time entering customer data instead of in front of customers. To address that challenge, Microsoft developed Customer Explorer, an Office Business Application that uses Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to provide access to customer data in several line-of-business systems. Field sales personnel now manage customer data with the same tool that they use to communicate with customers. They now spend more time selling, and can collaborate more easily.

whitepaper ActewAGL Farewells False Economy, Waves Goodbye to Linux0000-00-00 Microsoft
  ActewAGL provides electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater services to households across the Australian Capital Territory. In 2004, the organization signed an agreement to manage day-to-day operations for TransACT, a Canberra-based telecommunications provider. TransACT's business-critical interconnect billing application was running an Oracle database on the Red Hat Linux operating system. The interconnect application was the only non-Microsoft, in-house developed application in the company, which made it difficult to manage and maintain. ActewAGL also had trouble finding adequately qualified staff to support the environment. ActewAGL decided to swap the operating system for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and replace the Oracle database with Microsoft SQL Server 2000. ActewAGL also used the Microsoft .NET Framework and the Microsoft Visual C# programming language to extend the application.
