| Hardmetal Knives drops OpenOffice, chooses Microsoft Office and Windows
Sharepoint Services as Collaboration Platform
Malaysian tooling manufacturer Hardmetal Knives Sdn Bhd was attracted to Open Source software because of the prospect of not having to pay for user licenses. It decided to deploy OpenOffice but soon discovered that the Open Source office productivity suite had certain drawbacks which affected staff productivity and efficiency. When Hardmetal Knives decided to deploy a collaboration solution, it made the strategic decision to migrate back to Microsoft Office to leverage on Windows SharePoint Services technology to develop its internal portal.

Migration Nets Manufacturer 100% Uptime and ROI in Six Months
As Western Digital prepared to produce new lines of hard drives at its
Malaysia facility, the company knew the Enterprise class database used
to manage production there couldn’t handle the increased load. The
database already had caused production errors because of slow response
times, and some failures resulted in significant production loss. To
prevent further problems, the Malaysia facility switched to Microsoft
Windows 2000 Advanced Server and SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition
running on two Compaq ProLiant 8500 servers. The mission-critical
database now handles 80 million peak transactions a day with ease. The
company achieved a return on investment (ROI) in June 2003—six months
after implementation. The increased level of performance and scalability
has turned profit loss to profit gain.
