关于客户
Seaport Capital LLC 是一家总部位于纽约市的私人投资公司。该公司成立于 1997 年，隶属于另一家组织，为通信、媒体、信息和商业服务领域的中型企业提供资本。自 2000 年独立以来，Seaport Capital 一直采用相同的会计系统。然而，2012 年飓风桑迪袭击纽约市时，该公司的运营中断，部分数据遭到破坏。该公司位于 27 楼的办公室没有被洪水淹没，但公司一周内无法访问数据，两周内只能通过手机运营。
挑战
私人投资公司 Seaport Capital 使用的会计系统已过时，该系统在 2012 年受到飓风桑迪的严重影响。飓风导致 Seaport Capital 位于曼哈顿下城的大楼地下室被淹，导致这栋 29 层大楼和公司本地服务器的电力中断。这导致他们一周内无法访问数据，并且不得不通过手机操作两周。风暴过后发现，他们主公司的大部分数据已损坏、丢失或无法访问，部分基金的数据也是如此。该公司使用 Excel 进行大量会计工作，并手动管理和在多达 40 个实体之间分配资金。
解决方案
Seaport Capital 决定用基于云的 ERP 平台 Acumatica 取代其旧的会计系统。该公司的首要要求是找到一个具有远程、独立于设备的访问功能的平台。除了基于云的平台之外，Seaport 还将经济实惠、轻松处理和集成多个实体的能力以及自定义报告列在其要求列表的首位。Acumatica 灵活的定价结构加上其易于使用且直观的用户界面和公司间功能，让 Seaport 获得了这笔交易。Acumatica 帮助 Seaport 简化了支票运行流程，使他们能够在打印之前预览支票运行，并在需要时轻松作废和重新打印。Seaport 简化了银行对账，快速更新了其科目表和子帐户，并将之前包含 20 页的报告合并为两到三页。

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Safety First with Folksam
The competitiveness of the car insurance market is driving UBI growth as a means for insurance companies to differentiate their customer propositions as well as improving operational efficiency. An insurance model - usage-based insurance ("UBI") - offers possibilities for insurers to do more efficient market segmentation and accurate risk assessment and pricing. Insurers require an IoT solution for the purpose of data collection and performance analysis

Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.

MasterCard Improves Customer Experience Through Self-Service Data Prep
Derek Madison, Leader of Business Financial Support at MasterCard, oversees the validation of transactions and cash between two systems, whether they’re MasterCard owned or not. He was charged with identifying new ways to increase efficiency and improve MasterCard processes. At the outset, the 13-person team had to manually reconcile system interfaces using reports that resided on the company’s mainframe. Their first order of business each day was to print 20-30 individual, multi-page reports. Using a ruler to keep their place within each report, they would then hand-key the relevant data, line by line, into Excel for validation. “We’re talking about a task that took 40-80 hours each week,” recalls Madison, “As a growing company with rapidly expanding product offerings, we had to find a better way to prepare this data for analysis.”
