"After we implemented billing, the first new process, we saw a drastic productivity improvement. Within this short period, BEA WebLogic Integration enabled us to eliminate re-keying of data and to consolidate multiple steps. This doubled productivity and virtually eliminated errors... We have more than exceeded our ROI goals."

— Rick Utley, Senior Manager of Development IP Communications
