Oil and gas may be the biggest contributors to Qatar's economy, but Qatar Steel Company (QASCO) is a leading force in the country's manufacturing sector. QASCO, already an Oracle customer, had a database and development tools in place, but needed powerful applications to run and optimize its growing operations. After debating whether to select a single-vendor solution or attempt to integrate a range of best-of-breed applications, QASCO ultimately chose Oracle. With Oracle Financials, QASCO has cut its month-end closing cycle from 18 days to three days.
