关于客户
Utz Quality Foods is the largest privately held and family-managed salty snack company in the U.S. Founded in 1921, the company is based in Hanover, PA, and operates 10 facilities in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Alabama. Utz has grown through a strategy of organic growth, mergers, and acquisitions, becoming one of the largest snack food powerhouses. The company's brands include Utz®, Bachman®, Good Health®, Snikiddy®, Golden Flake®, Zapp’s® and “Dirty”® Potato Chips. As the company grows, so does its need for business intelligence (BI) and analytics.
挑战
Utz Quality Foods, a large privately held snack food company, was facing the challenge of creating an enterprise-wide analytics strategy to support its rapid growth through both organic growth and mergers and acquisitions. The company needed to deploy real-time analytics to speed up decision-making and empower business units to take control of their data. They also needed to unlock clean, high-quality information via self-service dashboards, InfoApps, and other analytics assets. The company was looking for a way to increase efficiency and better compete with larger snack food companies.
解决方案
Utz Quality Foods partnered with Information Builders to enhance its critical business processes and deliver fresh, high-quality data to workers in manufacturing, purchasing, logistics, human resources, and other parts of the organization. The company used Information Builders’ WebFOCUS, InfoAssist+, and iWay technologies for this purpose. For example, Utz used the WebFOCUS BI and analytics platform to create an InfoApp™ called SnackBoard that provides fast and clear answers to business questions related to sales. Regional managers use this self-service BI environment to make daily decisions about inventory, sales, and trends. Utz is also creating similar InfoApps™ for finance, manufacturing, and executive-level decision-making. The company uses iWay Service Manager to integrate data into data warehouses for operational reporting, as well as to create an enterprise service bus for transmitting data and process flows.

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.
