1) Is a raw material processing company founded in 1993 based in the People's

Republic of China. It is the country's second largest importer of iron ore. Its major
challenges are It has core business in resources development, trade & logistics,
engineering project and science & technology, equipment manufacturing and
specialized service, providing comprehensive auxiliary service for steel industry,
especially steel mills.

Maintenance of economic and technological cooperation with other nations and

global companies and strengthen its global reach. As well as, along with other state
enterprises, continue efforts to expand the global control over commodities-key,
thus exclusivity to get stream in the provision that will ensure a steady stream of
resources to the booming economy of China.

They optimize management processes, standardize coding, regulations, etc.

prevention of information risks, adapt industry processes and superior ownership
expertise, centralize and unify the communication process, reports, accountancy,

2)  Because the need to consolidate management of diverse operations implementing

the major enterprise resource planning major until 2005. The goals of this project
were set down by their president, thus were: Increase the management levels,
prevent all kind of risks, independence of operations and management, as well as, to

3) Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems integrate internal and
external management information across an entire organization,
 embracing finance/accounting, manufacturing, sales and service, customer
relationship management, etc. ERP systems automate this activity with an
integrated software application. Their purpose is to facilitate the flow of information
between all business functions inside the boundaries of the organization and manage
the connections to outside stakeholders. ERP systems can run on a variety
of hardware and network configurations, typically employing a database as a
repository for information.

4) In today's fast-moving, competitive business world, clear and up-to-date

information is needed for the accurate, expedient decision making requirements of
an often geographically distributed workforce. The timely distribution of that
information must be reliable, cost effective, and accessible to everyone who
requires it. Oracle Reports Services provides an unbounded, easy-to-use, scalable,
and manageable solution for high-quality database publishing and reporting. Oracle
Reports Services is a powerful Enterprise reporting tool used by information system
(IS) developers to create sophisticated dynamic reports for the Web and across the
enterprise. The Oracle Reports Services server-based architecture means report
consumers require only a Web browser to view reports in industry standard formats.
The Oracle Reports Services supports on-demand delivery of high-quality reports
over the Web through native generation of HTML with Cascading Style Sheets and
the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Maintenance overhead is cut as
reports are administered and maintained centrally and there is no requirement to
install complex software on every user's PC. The Oracle Reports Services enables
you to implement a multi-tiered architecture for running your reports. With Oracle
Reports Services, you can run reports on a remote application server.

When used in conjunction with the Oracle Reports Services server CGI or Oracle
Reports Services server servlet, Oracle Reports Services also enables you to run
reports from a Web browser using standard URL syntax. Oracle Reports Services
can be installed on Windows NT, Windows 95, or UNIX. It handles client requests
to run reports by entering all requests into a job queue. When one of the server's
runtime engines becomes available, the next job in the queue is dispatched to run.
As the number of jobs in the queue increases, the server can start more runtime
engines until it reaches the maximum limit specified when the server process was
started. Similarly, idle engines are shut down after having been idle for longer than
a specified period of time software on every user's PC.
