The Challenge
Dun Yong Food Services, a catering and wholesale supplier specializing in Asian foods, was faced with the challenge of an outdated ERP solution that no longer met the requirements of their growing business. The existing system offered limited opportunities for improvement and was not able to fully support the company's future plans. Recognizing the importance of change management in implementing a new system, Dun Yong began the search for a modern, scalable ERP platform about a year and a half ago. The company involved key users from their teams from the beginning and created a list of minimum requirements that a potential software partner had to meet. However, the project had to be put on hold due to the uncertainties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.
