The Challenge
Coca-Cola Peninsula Beverages faced a challenge of multiple disparate data sources in various locations, which required lengthy and costly ETL solutions and extensive manual workarounds to extract meaningful information and reconcile this data to their ERP systems. The company needed fast, user-friendly access to integrate and report on data from various sources to optimally manage its business within an economically challenging environment. The typical daily update processes could take up to eight hours just for one day’s data, and that could fail, leaving the business without up-to-date reporting.
About The Customer
Coca-Cola Peninsula Beverages is a provincial soft drink bottling operation in the beverage industry that holds the rights to manufacture and distribute the products of the Coca-Cola Company within the Western and Northern Cape provinces of South Africa. As the business grew over the years, it implemented a number of systems and tools to assist in various business processes. This resulted in multiple disparate data sources in various locations, both physical and virtual. The company needed a solution to integrate and report on data from these various sources to optimally manage its business within an economically challenging environment.
The Solution
Coca-Cola Peninsula Beverages selected Denodo as their partner of choice to create a logical data fabric to unlock the value of their data. By introducing Denodo, the company was able to make use of information from its multiple data sources without having to move data and re-house it through ETL processes in a legacy data warehouse manner. The various data sources required were connected to Denodo, and through the Virtual Dataport tool, development was done to quickly and easily create powerful views, combining information from these sources, ultimately providing access to real-time information. This empowered the Business Intelligence function of the Peninsula Beverages to fully maximize on the virtualized approach focusing on speed to market and the ever-changing business needs.
