5.5.3 An Oracle Content Server Accounts Case Study

In this example, Xalco is a worldwide software company with offices in London, New York, and Paris. They have an Oracle Content Server system hosted in the London office, with access from the other offices through the corporate WAN. At the same time, Xalco is replicating some files out to an area of their public web site. Initially, the Sales and Finance departments at each location want to use their instance to publish files.
