挑战
Maple Leaf Farms 是美国首屈一指的优质鸭肉产品生产商，拥有数千家客户，规模和类型各异，从大型零售商和食品供应商到唐人街的小型餐馆和市场。虽然餐馆老板可能不使用 EDI 和业务集成，但 Maple Leaf 的大多数客户都依赖它来实现准确性、速度和效率。事实上，Maple Leaf 拥有 100 个贸易伙伴，每月以十几种不同的交易格式发送和接收 2500 笔 EDI 交易。挑战在于处理 B2B 电子交易文件的高速交换和快速建立新的交易关系，同时还要促进这些文件在公司使用的应用程序、系统和流程中的自动集成 — 无需自定义编码接口。

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.
