	Consolidation, standardization on HP systems, Oracle software pays off for community college

"We're providing much better service to users across campus, and saving more than $600,000 annually. Consolidation on our new HP infrastructure and Oracle software is making it all possible."

-- Glenn Cerny, Chief Information Officer, Lansing Community College

Lansing Community College (LCC) serves some 18,000 students in south central Michigan with nearly 150 degree and certificate programs. But like many organizations,lack of integration in IT had hobbled the college's administrative functions.

Today, thanks to consolidation on HP servers and an HP
Storage Area Network running a full range of Oracle ERP applications, users access data far faster, use systems to drill down for custom reports in minutes, and can depend on virtually 100 percent uptime.
