关于客户
Adecco is a global staffing company with annual sales of well over EUR 20 billion, operating in more than 60 countries with 5,100 branches. The company supports more than 700,000 permanent and temporary employees every day, holding more than 1,000 bank accounts at over 100 banks. Adecco's business involves ensuring that employees are paid promptly and treated well, making treasury operations a critical function. The company's legacy treasury operations were highly decentralized, requiring a transformation to integrate cash management, improve controls, and increase cash visibility.
挑战
Adecco, a global staffing company, faced the challenge of managing a highly decentralized treasury operation with separate systems installed at many company operations. The company needed to integrate cash management, improve controls, and increase cash visibility while reducing the number of banking systems used. The TMS played a valuable role in managing debt, investments, foreign exchange, and cash forecasting, but connecting the company and its systems to the banks and the TMS was a significant challenge. Adecco's bank connections were diverse, including SWIFT, H2H, EBICS, and more, supporting a wide variety of payment types. The time and cost of forcing connectivity through a TMS architecture would slow the journey considerably, and a roll-out of the TMS to smaller business units was not practical or cost-effective.
解决方案
Adecco selected a TMS as the corporate standard to integrate cash management, improve controls, and increase cash visibility. However, the challenge of connecting the company and its systems to the banks and the TMS led them to seek an alternative solution. They found TIS, a cloud-based platform designed to optimize outbound payments. The TIS architecture provided a single point of contact for bank connectivity, simplifying the 'many to many' connectivity challenge. TIS offered a substantial library of bank connectors and payment formats, enabling agile development with new formats and connectors added every four to six weeks. The TIS business model included straightforward pricing based on the number of bank accounts and connected systems, with no additional charges for current TIS banking connections, bank-specific formats, or SWIFT connectivity. The solution allowed Adecco to be truly bank agnostic, leveraging independence to realize better terms from their banks.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
