About The Customer
KFC Singapore is the local chapter of the global restaurant group specializing in serving chicken meals seasoned with a unique blend of 11 herbs and spices. The company opened its first restaurant in Singapore in 1977 and has since become one of the leading restaurant chains in the country. In 2011, the restaurant chain decided to invest in an infrastructure that would not only serve as its accounting solution, but also provide workflow processes that could be used by all of its HQ employees from any device, at any time, from anywhere.
The Challenge
KFC Singapore, a leading restaurant chain in the country, was looking for an infrastructure that would serve as its accounting solution and provide workflow processes that could be used by all of its HQ employees from any device, at any time, from anywhere. The company was using JD Edwards Financial Management Module, but upgrading it to meet its expanded needs would have been too costly. A review of other solutions did not meet the expectations and budget of KFC Singapore.
The Solution
KFC Singapore chose Acumatica because it offered the best return-on-investment in excess of $50,000 within the first year, had the most well-rounded feature set, and offered the freedom to provide access to all authorized staff at the corporate office. By switching to Acumatica’s SaaS solution running on Windows Azure, KFC Singapore was able to save about $50,000 in IT resources. The Cloud model significantly reduced IT administrative costs, such as the downloading and installation of software upgrades and patches, and the need to install client software on every machine. Savings were also realized with the elimination of annual software maintenance fees and the need for hardware upgrades.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
