Home Group provides low-cost housing and social services in the United Kingdom, and wants to minimize operational costs so it has more to invest in services. After years of organic growth, the organization's IT infrastructure had become fragmented and dysfunctional. Home Group pruned its server count, upgraded its management software, and replaced HP OpenView with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 for server monitoring. With the last move, Home Group has brought its Windows Server- and UNIX-based servers under a single monitoring console and given the IT staff better insight into problems, which increases the availability of applications. Home Group estimates that infrastructure monitoring efficiencies will save up to £1 million (around U.S.$1.6 million) and simplify compliance reporting.

Atica Corporation S.A. de C.V. wanted to automate budgetary administration, planning, and control for refinery engineering and construction projects, and wherever else Atica performs services on behalf of PEMEX and centralize up-to-date information on project planning and progress to meet delivery dates. The challenge was to provide online monitoring of construction project progress and refinery maintenance, as well as other PEMEX installations to reduce the number of in-person visits made by the project coordinator. Atica Corporation S.A. de C.V. worked with Oracle Partner Systec to implement Oracle's Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management, complying with PEMEX's requirements to automate procedures for planning and controlling engineering and construction projects.

Traficon wanted to scale the Traffic Management System (TMS) software platform that collects data, events, alarms, and images generated by video cameras from 300 to 1,500 hardware units - to meet the needs of a capital city on one single system and increase TMS performance through enhanced event filtering, faster data retrieval, and optimized aggregation capabilities. The challenge was to minimize up-front development costs and technical resources and finalize upgrade, testing, and go live within nine months. Traficon implemented Oracle Coherence to scale TMS linearly and dynamically by capturing and storing real-time traffic data for rapid retrieval by monitoring teams.

The Metropolitan District of Bordeaux's (CUB) computer network had reached saturation point and it was crucial that changes were made to allow users to access industry-specific applications without having to wait. CUB drew up a network management scheme, which defined all its current and future requirements. After an invitation to tender and some high-performance prototyping work, CUB selected the service provider it wished to use to migrate the network, to provide support and to install an administration and monitoring solution based on the implementation of the HP Network Node Manager (HP NNM) solution.
