挑战
Utz Quality Foods, a snack food company, faced the challenge of keeping decision-makers informed of sales and distribution information, obtained daily from a widely dispersed sales force. The company operates on a Direct Store Delivery business model, marketing its products to stores and supermarkets in the mid-Atlantic United States. Utz also distributes snack food products that it buys from companies like ConAgra Foods. The company needed a system that allows managers to quickly gather and analyze current sales and distribution information.
解决方案
Utz Quality Foods harnessed the power of BI to create a Web-based system that generates reports based on data gathered from hand-held devices in the field, so managers can quickly access and analyze timely information. The company uses WebFOCUS to coordinate the timing among its production, marketing, sales, and distribution operations. WebFOCUS is at the heart of a system called UtzFOCUS, which allows managers to quickly gather and analyze current sales and distribution information. Authorized users can determine how much of a certain product is selling on any given day, how much was sold into a particular store or chain, at what price, and in response to what promotions.

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.
