How Can Better Collaboration Between HR and Finance
Help High-Bandwidth Optical Networks Run Faster?
Telecommunications and business networks rely on technologies from Oclaro Inc. to deliver high-speed
and bandwidth-intensive applications such as streaming video, cloud computing, and voice over IP. The
company’s innovative products help clients build ultrafast optical networks and high-speed interconnects.
To stay ahead of the competition, Oclaro sought new insights that would improve business planning and
decision-making.
Using cloud-based SAP® SuccessFactors® solutions and SAP S/4HANA®, Oclaro put enterprise data
at the fingertips of its employees. Now, people can share information in real time, collaborate more
effectively, and make decisions confidently. By improving its own operational excellence, Oclaro is better
prepared to help customers increase their network bandwidth, reduce latency, and develop new services.
