Pressures from the marketplace motivated Cimarex Energy to rethink their existing Electronic Invoice Approval solution, which utilized a leading Document Management product to store invoice images and route them for approval.  The Document Management product was highly underutilized for their purposes and required expensive specialists to maintain the complex infrastructure.   In a proof of concept, they discovered that the functionality of the application could be easily ported to SharePoint.  The only obstacle keeping them from implementing this solution on SharePoint 2007 was the Microsoft recommendation to limit content database size to 100GB.  They had considerably more than 100GB of invoices in their existing system and didn't want to carve them up into different site collections, resulting in taxonomy design, find-ability, and retention challenges.

"To overcome the storage limitation we selected StoragePoint for its simple, elegant design.", says Ken Foster, Director, Application Development at Cimarex Energy.  Ken adds, "It gave us the ability to quickly implement a replacement solution on SharePoint that met the business need and allowed IT to leverage a cost effective technology stack that is pervasively used within Cimarex and one that our staff is trained to support."
