The Challenge
The organic food sector has been experiencing rapid growth, leading to increased pressure to meet supply demands. This growth has also heightened the need to ensure the authenticity of organic food and mitigate potential risks such as fraud in organic produce supply chains. Companies are faced with the challenge of identifying and assessing risks that could affect the quality of organic ingredients and products. They are also tasked with implementing appropriate measures to prevent these risks. Bionext, a company committed to promoting sustainable organic food and farming, needed a solution to manage these challenges, leading to the creation of Biotrust.

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.
