Case studies come in all shapes and sizes. For a 'normal' case study, I usually write 750-850 words - enough for a 2-sided A4 sheet.

However, many are presented on websites and via email in a quick and succinct 'problem-solution-result' format using minimal words. These are equally powerful and relevant and can also serve as press announcements, 'headline news' on websites or as a flyer.

This, for BEA Systems, was just such a case study and delivered a clear and powerful message of success in a succcinct format.
