挑战
Lion 是澳大利亚和新西兰一家领先的食品和饮料公司，该公司旨在将其财务职能从业务合作伙伴转变为业务的真正价值创造者。然而，该公司当前的流程阻碍了财务部门有效地与业务部门合作并成为价值创造者。该公司的财务报告流程特别耗时且劳动密集。其母公司 Kirin 的季度报告包含 42 个时间表，这些时间表位于单独的 Microsoft Excel 文件中。必须手动将数字输入电子表格中，并不断进行交叉检查以确保没有出现错误。在这些报告期间，六人集团财务报告团队通常需要从其他团队借调两名额外团队成员来补充。即使有了这种额外支持，团队通常也需要加班才能按时完成报告。
关于客户
Lion 是一家领先的饮料和食品公司，旗下产品组合包括许多澳大利亚和新西兰最受欢迎的品牌。Lion 每年对澳大利亚和新西兰经济的直接和间接贡献总额估计超过 50 亿美元。Lion 拥有近 7,000 名员工，主要分布在澳大利亚和新西兰，以及香港、马来西亚、新加坡和美国。Lion 在塔斯曼海沿岸的制造基地遍布 40 多个，包括大型啤酒厂、精酿啤酒厂、葡萄酒厂、酿酒厂、奶牛场、牛奶、奶酪、酸奶和果汁厂。该公司还经营场地，并在新西兰拥有 40 多家 Liquor King 零售店。作为其平衡业务战略目标的一部分，Lion 对其流程进行了审查，以确定改进机会。
解决方案
Lion 与 IBM Cognos Disclosure Management 合作，使其转型计划取得良好开端。项目团队经历了完整的 RFI / RFP 流程，并评估了来自披露管理领域的四家供应商的解决方案，并根据业务和 IT 标准对其进行了评分和排名。该团队还决定与 BMA Group 合作实施 IBM Cognos Disclosure Management 解决方案，BMA Group 是 IBM 的顶级业务合作伙伴，专门为财务办公室提供解决方案。在短短六周内，BMA 帮助项目团队安装了软件、培训了用户，并为公司的 ASIC 和董事会报告生成了可交付成果。IBM Cognos Disclosure Management 使用“标签”将最终输出文件直接链接到底层源数据。如果源中的某个数字发生变化，则输出文件会自动更新 - 消除了人为错误的风险，并大大减少了在最终报告中交叉检查和验证数据的需要。

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.
