挑战
Yogurt consumption has almost doubled every seven years, making it one of the fastest-growing segments in a very competitive dairy market. Getting products on shelves as quickly and efficiently as possible is critical. For Dannon, this requires tracking hundreds of loads a day through its three manufacturing plants, six distribution centers, and numerous trucks from third-party carriers. In addition to the complexity inherent in Dannon’s supply chain process, customers were requesting better service through improved scheduling options and increased on-time deliveries. Dannon’s former outbound and inbound appointment scheduling process was manual and required time-consuming phone calls, faxes, and emails between departments, shipping facilities, and carriers. Additionally, the dock scheduler at each location was the only party with visibility to the entire transportation schedule, creating a bottleneck that limited the ability to communicate any delivery changes to the customers.

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.
