The Challenge
Pernod Ricard España, a leader in the liquor market in Spain, was facing challenges in generating flexible and dynamic reports due to the large amount of data handled by the company. The company needed a tool that could integrate multiple data sources in different formats and make them readily available to directors and department heads to streamline the decision-making process. This needed to be done independently of the IT department, so that end-users would be able to handle their own queries and reports.
About The Customer
Pernod Ricard España is the leader in the liquor market in Spain. It is a part of Pernod Ricard, which is number one in Europe and number two worldwide in the wines and spirits sector. The company has been operating in Spain since 1978, where it produces and distributes local and international brands. The company is headquartered in Madrid and has production facilities in Manzanares, Málaga, Dicastillo and Santiago de Compostela. The staff in Spain is made up of 480 employees; the number of employees in its international offices totals 19,300. The company’s annual sales for the fiscal year July 2008-June 2009 totaled 1.003 billion euros (69 million liters) in Spain, with worldwide receipts totaling 7.203 billion euros.
The Solution
Pernod Ricard España implemented QlikView as a supplement to its corporate Business Intelligence system. The criteria that led the company to choose this application included fast implementation, graphic environment, user-friendly interface, flexibility in adapting reports to new business standards, straightforward report publication, restricted end-user access, implementation cost, and fast return on investment. The implementation was carried out in a Windows platform, integrated within a Citrix environment. The company is now easily handling documents containing more than 12 million records with this application.

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.
