ON Telecoms, Greece, has extended Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management to support the expansion of its customer base.

PKP Intercity, a major Polish railway company, is implementing Oracle iProcurement and Oracle Warehouse Management. These modules will be integrated with Oracle Financials already working in the company since 2008. "The biggest disadvantage of our previous warehouse managing system was its lack of up-to-date information. Because all relevant documents were filed into the system with several days delay, the necessary analytics were performed rather rarely. In the new Oracle solution all changes in our warehouse are being made online - this will give to our analysts greater business insight every moment it is needed," assured Jaroslaw Kowalski, IT Director, PKP Intercity.

AEK, the largest central hospital in Budapest, Hungary, which also supports the police, government and other public departments, has implemented Oracle Data Guard.

In a hospital it is especially important that patients are attended to immediately, rather than having to wait for service due to any technical difficulties. Since the implementation of Oracle Data Guard this has not happened, and our clients are able to rely on us with trust every day of the week," said Dr. Istvan Szilvasy, director general of Allami Egeszsegugyi Kozpont (State Health Center).
