New Case Studies

	American Power Conversion (APC) contemplated major increases in its use of Siebel software—including consolidation of separate instances into a single, global database and expanding its use to include the real-time needs of its call center. That required even more performance than it was getting from Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 database software. So, the company upgraded to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition (64-bit). Siebel transaction response times are 100 percent faster; the call center responds more quickly and cost-effectively to customers; the solution will scale to support a 300 percent increase in the current 3,000-user base; and availability is “rock-solid” according to the company. APC gets all this and more for less than half of the estimated cost of an Oracle-based solution, saving the company U.S.$800,000. Read More

	MCI, one of the world’s largest global communications firms, provides voice, data, networking, and other services. MCI had more than two-dozen systems supporting 8,000 sales and support personnel. MCI saw an opportunity to integrate and increase the efficiency of its systems with newer technology, thereby reducing the costs to maintain them and improving the firm’s financial and business management. To achieve these goals, MCI teamed with Siebel, Microsoft, HP, and Accenture to test and deploy Siebel 7.5.3, running on Microsoft software and HP servers. The new, simplified system reduced costs and improved productivity in sales and related areas, such as legal and business development, by up to 25 percent. MCI executives gained a single, simplified view of the firm’s entire operations, a view that will give them critical information for making informed decisions. Read More MCI Siebel Case Study Video
