For years, Slumberland supported its retail IT needs by buying servers loaded with the biggest drives available. In 2003 the retail information system reached its end of life and the company’s IT team decided it was time for a storage area network (SAN).

Managing storage and provisioning data to accommodate the changing and increasingly demanding requirements of a growing Oracle database can be a challenge for IT administrators. Compellent’s software applications including Thin Provisioning, Remote Replication and Automated Tiered Storage work in combination with ASM to allow Oracle data to be easily accessible, easily replicated and dynamically expanded in less time than traditional storage solutions.

Use of XML as a primary data format is spreading rapidly. Combining Oracle® XML Publisher with HP Output Server creates an output management system that can effectively process and reliably deliver XML-formatted output to print, fax, email, web, and other output destinations. More and more organizations are turning to XML as a medium to solve interoperability issues because data presented in XML is self-describing, and thus more easily understood by different systems. This paper describes a real-life implementation of HPOS and Oracle XML Publisher. The solution successfully processes thousands of job submissions per hour of XML-formatted data and non-XML-formatted documents from a combination of Oracle and non-Oracle applications.

As revenue recognition policies become more complex, auditors, regulatory bodies, and investors are becoming increasingly critical of a company’s financial records. Unfortunately, the standard functionality of most ERP systems, including Oracle, are not capable of managing the complex revenue processes, due to the variety of requirements that need addressing for each industry, business model and product offering. Furthermore, ERP systems tend to focus on the underlying business process, such as order-to-cash, rather than the compliance aspect of the process.
