Comic Relief Builds Multi-Channel e-Commerce Site

Overview Comic Relief is a charitable organization set up by Richard Curtis in the United Kingdom to help end poverty and social injustice by raising funds. The company wanted to build a scalable, high-performance e-commerce platform capable of live-authorizing hundreds of thousands of transactions arriving through the Internet, digital satellite TV and call centers and the challenge was to provide access to hundreds of pages of dynamic content that let the public access the latest campaign news, locate fundraising ideas and register fundraising events online. The company used Oracle Database 10g, Data Guard, and Oracle Application Server 10g on Java J2EE standards to build the website, call center, and interactive TV donation processing systems.
