About The Customer
Jackson Family Wines is a family-owned wine production company with over 35 wine brands in North America and internationally, including Kendall-Jackson. The company operates in Italy, France, Chile, Australia, and South Africa. Despite being family-run, Jackson Family Wines employs over 1,400 people worldwide in various roles, from production and viticulture to marketing and sales. Headquartered in Santa Rosa, CA, the company faces unique recruiting challenges due to its rural location and the specialized nature of the winemaking industry.
The Challenge
Jackson Family Wines faced significant challenges in recruiting quality talent due to their reliance on an outdated applicant tracking system (ATS) and their location in a rural area. The paper-based approval process was slow and cumbersome, requiring forms to be transferred between multiple employees for approval. This inefficiency was compounded by the company's spread across multiple continents, making the process even more time-consuming. Additionally, the niche nature of the winemaking industry and the company's distance from major cities limited the available talent pool, making it difficult to find candidates for specialized roles.
The Solution
In 2013, Jackson Family Wines decided to upgrade their recruiting process by implementing Jobvite Hire, an advanced applicant tracking system (ATS). Jobvite Hire's automated approval process significantly streamlined their hiring workflow, replacing the cumbersome paper-based system. This automation allowed hiring managers to quickly gain approvals and track requisition statuses in real-time, reducing the time to hire by an average of two months. Additionally, Jobvite's social media integration capabilities enabled the recruiting team to leverage external networks and social media platforms to attract fresh talent. The use of Jobvite Publisher allowed the team to push hiring updates to their personal networks, resulting in numerous interviews and successful hires. The company also benefited from Jobvite's advanced reporting capabilities, which provided comprehensive visibility into recruiting data and allowed for better tracking of progress and success.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

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.
