McDATA Corporation Achieves First-Year Savings of $1 Million, Avoids $5 Million in Costs With Oracle E-Business Suite

Overview McDATA Corporation, a leader in open storage networking solutions, is rapidly growing with operations expanding into Europe, Asia, and the United States, and product families constantly evolving. After analyzing the total cost of ownership (TCO) for an upgrade of its existing system, McDATA realized that the cost of implementation would be equal to or greater than other competitive packages. Compared to its existing system, Oracle E-Business Suite enabled better access to information, and Oracle's integrated approach dramatically improved McDATA's reporting capabilities.
