	GM's Stellar Service by Tara Swords, November 2010 General Motors’ OnStar is a driver’s link, via the touch of a button, to a customer representative at any time of day or night.

To lay a foundation for this expansion and other global markets, OnStar’s IT team needed to abandon a brittle, point-to-point architecture and adopt a flexible, efficient SOA with the ability to add new services in weeks instead of months without rewriting code from scratch. Learn how Oracle helped OnStar through its biggest IT project since the service’s inception, and laid the groundwork for future expansion. Profit Special Edition: JD Edwards August 2010
