| |  | | Content Management Solution for Web Site Saves Financial Firm $257,000 |
Posted 2009-09-30 |
|
| | FICO provides analytics and decision management technologies to customers around the world. It wanted to improve its online presence by updating its Web site and streamlining a cumbersome Web content management process that required IT involvement and constrained marketing staff from developing the site along corporate directives. FICO migrated its portal to Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server 2007 and increased dynamic content by 90 percent. Because marketing employees now manage Web content publication, data is posted 20 percent faster and IT staff can focus on appropriate duties, raising productivity by an estimated 60 percent. Also, thanks to integrated search in Office SharePoint Server, FICO was able to retire its third-party search solution, saving U.S.$37,000 a year. Today, FICO has an extensible set of tools to achieve its vision for a Web site that drives business agility. | | |

| |  | | Weather Archive Makes Information More Available with Simple Records Management |
Posted 2009-09-29 |
|
| | The National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), manages the world’s largest archive of climate and weather information. NCDC provides support for the study of global climate change and other environmental issues. One of the center’s major initiatives is to digitize its vast archive of paper records and make them available to researchers over the Internet. NCDC previously used a records management system developed, managed, and hosted by Microsoft® Gold Certified Partner National Interest Security Company (NISC). While pleased with the NISC system, NCDC wanted a solution it could manage and host locally, if necessary. Working with NISC, NCDC used Microsoft Office SharePoint® Server 2007 to develop a simple, reliable records management system that can handle vast amounts of data and that its users can adopt seamlessly. | | |

Southern Union has used the software to create a comprehensive and highly successful information platform that is unifying employees throughout the company, increasing the speed and accuracy of collaboration and work processes. | | |
