Case Study -
- Challenge
- Atos Origin’s rigorous project methodology requires robust document control processes to be in place for every project. The Atos Origin “major events” team, based in Beijing, China, were faced with an extremely large and complex project which would span several years. The challenge of running a project with an increasing team size and a growing number of documents was further complicated by poor connectivity to the Atos Origin global wide area network and, in turn, the corporate knowledge management systems. Utilizing shared drives was an unacceptable solution for the team leadership. Shared drives were unable to provide the necessary classification, version control and security for the expanding repository of documents. Management urgently required an alternative solution and KnowledgeTree was identified as the technology of choice.
- Solution
- Atos required a robust, easy to use document management solution with strong collaborative features. The ability to check documents in and out of the repository and thus manage document versioning was a key requirement. Varying document types – plans, contracts, specifications, supplier communication – required a well structured taxonomy design and metadata structure. There was however no time for prolonged repository configuration or user training. Tight project deadlines meant that the team had to become productive immediately. KnowledgeTree’s intuitive user interface and simple setup tools and wizards allowed the team to quickly achieve user “buy in” and thus fast track the implementation.
- Result
- KnowledgeTree’s intuitive user interface and simple setup tools and wizards allowed the team to quickly achieve user “buy in” and thus fast track the implementation. Robust security a must Many of the project documents were of a highly confidential nature making robust security a prerequisite. Using KnowledgeTree, the project librarian was easily able to manage access control permission settings and ensure the integrity of the repository. User requests for extended access rights were speedily resolved and the improved information sharing provided a boost for productivity. Multi-language Support KnowledgeTree’s support for multiple languages allowed the system to be implemented in both English and Simplified Chinese. At login, users are able to select the desired language from a drop down list, with the default language determined by their browser preference settings. This feature assisted with the rapid uptake of the system by the diverse project team. Growing with KnowledgeTree As the project develops momentum and both the document repository and the team expand over the next few years, KnowledgeTree’s open source architecture will ensure that the team’s document management infrastructure is futured-proofed. No longer worrying about team infrastructure, Atos Origin can focus on delivering value to their customer.

Case Study -
- Challenge
- Blue Hammock is a management consulting company with company headquarters in Pittsburgh and offices throughout North America. Blue Hammock specializes in Data Management, Business Intelligence, Data Quality, and Data Integration for major Fortune 1000 companies including Microsoft Corporation, Honda, Caterpillar, CBS, and Honeywell. The company’s consultants work on site at clients and get actively involved in the implementation of strategies designed by the group. With projects distributed across North America, employees have been clamoring for a document management system in order to manage a central knowledge base of company and project documentation.
- Solution
- KnowledgeTree is installed on a server running CentOS Linux at Blue Hammock’s headquarters in Pittsburgh. The application is available on the internet through a web browser for those with access rights so that Blue Hammock’s consultants can log on remotely and access their documents using KnowledgeTree’s intuitive web interface. In addition, the utilization of the KnowledgeTree Desktop application allows Blue Hammock’s remote workforce instant access to documenting and marketing materials.
- Result
- After finding KnowledgeTree on a Google search, the product was shortlisted and then selected. “We liked the ease and simplicity with which we were able to get up and running with KnowledgeTree”, says Carlson. “The implementation costs are reduced and a rapid uptake occurs when users are easily able to grasp how the application works without the need for an extensive training program.”

- BlueStar Energy chooses Mule to simplify complex data sources
- Industry: Energy
-
Read the full
Case Study -
- Challenge
- BlueStar’s energy products and pricing schemas are differentiated by its ability to buy energy in a competitive fashion from wholesale suppliers, then deliver that power to its customers over a highly reliable electric distribution infrastructure. BlueStar’s information technology systems are in a constant state of collecting and disseminating data from numerous sources. The information supports a number of processes ranging from customer enrollment and provisioning, to supply forecasting and procurement, to customer care and billing, to sales force automation, to organizational financial management ... just to name a few. It’s a very information-intensive, dynamic business environment with a number of associated integration challenges. Millions of dollars in revenue are tied to timely access to information and the ability to act on that information.
- Solution
- BlueStar uses Mule to insulate internal systems from the complexities of the numerous incoming datasources, and to handle the transformation and routing heavy-lifting requirements.
- Result
- The Mule ESB transforms incoming data (from weather feeds to energy pricing, and numerous other disparate data feeds and formats) so that BlueStar’s supply systems understand how to react. After the supply systems generate appropriate scheduling for the various transmission operators, the Mule bus then routes the data to the appropriate energy exchange market (whether MISO or PJM). Working with Mule offloads the processing and transformation complexities, and enables new semantic-based types of intelligent messaging for BlueStar.

- Challenge
- To meet demanding new customer and integration partner requirements, Nuxeo decided to re-architect its flagship enterprise content management (ECM) solution. This involved migrating from the Python programming language to Java. Nuxeo needed to do this fast to minimize impact on its sales cycle, but more importantly, to be ready for a major forthcoming revision to Java: Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5.0 (Java EE 5).
- Solution
- Nuxeo used best of breed open source components from JBoss, Sun, the Apache Foundation and the Eclipse Foundation to creat a full-featured ECM platform that is: flexible, modular, extensible, service-oriented and scalable.
- Result
- - Because JBoss played a leading role in the Java Community Process (JCP) responsible for the Java EE 5 overhaul, Nuxeo was ensured a partner that was always current with the latest Java EE 5 developments and specifications. - By going with a Java leader and its J2EE 1.4 certified platform, Nuxeo did not need to worry about staying on top of Java developments. Instead, Nuxeo could focus fully on developing and differentiating its core business: enterprise content management. - With JBoss expert training, combined with the simple set up for JBoss Enterprise Middleware, Nuxeo was able to quickly jump start the migration project, improving overall productivity. - As an open source company, JBoss had an open and transparent development process that allowed Nuxeo to contribute to the evolution of JBoss Enterprise Middleware. Simply put, Nuxeo had a voice in adding new features and improvements.

- - Previous CRM system's data did not update in real time causing decisions to be made using stale data - Management wanted to get better insight into the sales pipeline to make more accurate decisions managing inventory and the purchasing of raw materials * Digi-Data wanted a CRM system that could be deployed On-Demand but also be brought in house at some point
- Solution
- - Sugar Professional's real time tracking allowed Digi-Data to make decisions based on current information and eliminated partner conflict - Digi-Data's management now uses Sugar reporting and dashboards to make more accurate purchasing decisions * With SugarCRM's dual deployment model, Digi-Data is able to deploy their Sugar instance in a manner that meets its needs as they change over time
- Result
- Digi-Data has used Sugar across their enterprise to improve collaboration, assist in strategical planning, and to streamline manually intensive processes. While Digi-Data’s implementation is impressive, Digi-Data knows that just like their product offerings their CRM needs will continue to evolve. Digi-Data has already made some customizations to better fit their unique business model and are beginning to investigate the possibility of moving to Sugar Professional On-Site where more key customizations could be introduced. With Sugar in place, Digi-Data has found a CRM solution that will keep pace with their continuous evolvement in a fast paced global industry.

- Industry: Financial Services
-
Read the full
Case Study -
- Challenge
- The core element of RMG’s service offering is a web portal that clients can use to clarify risk affecting their operations, identify options and envision potential outcomes. Users (typically CFOs and other financial professionals) access the portal to generate a variety of reports that measure risk exposure against different financial scenarios. The portal also provides clients with an entry point to other financial services offered by RMG and its partners. However, the portal was based on a legacy business intelligence application from Business Objects that was expensive to license, difficult to navigate and cumbersome to maintain. Its user interface had limited flexibility and was inadequate for rapidly evolving markets and constantly changing client needs. Clients frequently requested specialized reports to meet their very specific risk situations, requiring custom coding by RMG that prevented users from getting essential information on time.
- Solution
- Optaros replaced RMG’s proprietary portal technology with an open source, license-free financial portal that is much easier to use and gives RMG far more flexibility to meet the needs of current and future customers. Optaros assembled the new portal application using Liferay, leading open source portal software that Optaros has implemented for a number of web and intranet projects.
- Result
- RMG now has a next generation financial portal that allows clients to interact with their financial portfolio in real time to make faster, more effective decisions. “We believe the new portal is more advanced than anything available on the market and allows us to provide a unique set of services to our clients,” says Nicolas Foulquier, CIO at RMG. Using the What-If tool, a CFO or other financial professional can define business scenarios and get critical results about their organization’s risk exposure in time for a board meeting or fleeting opportunity. Behind the scenes, Liferay management tools allow RMG administrators to quickly create compelling, client-specific pages and reports. The result: more satisfied clients and more business for RMG. Finally, all results were achieved very efficiently — a trademark of Optaros projects. Optaros assembled the new application (including the What-If tool) in less than three months, replacing the obsolete portal application while leaving RMG’s reporting system and other technology intact.
