挑战
由于 EDI 系统陈旧，Challenge Dairy 面临着公司增长的瓶颈。传统的 EDI 转换器不可靠，经常丢失数据，并且缺乏错误通知系统。这导致订单丢失、发票传输不可靠，以及偶尔的退款和罚款。该系统需要不断的人工干预，无法定制或提供给其他应用程序。它需要一个全职人员 (FTE) 来管理日常活动。最终用户部门无法访问交易和订单数据。文档会丢失，并且由于无法访问确认和交易历史记录，用户无法轻松验证与客户的连接。该公司还面临着错失新收入机会的威胁，因为新客户通常要等待数周甚至数月才能开始活跃交易。
关于客户

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.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
