挑战
Love and Quiches Gourmet 严格控制其食品，在制造过程中产生数千个批号。从鸡蛋等原材料到蛋糕糊批次，再到成品的储存和运输，生产每个步骤中的每个项目都带有完整的批次标识。但是，该组织使用各种软件应用程序来管理其高度复杂的制造流程，并使用手动、容易出错的电子表格来跟踪批号。该企业缺乏一个可以处理订单和跟踪原材料的集成系统。当美国食品药品管理局 (FDA) 发布召回令时，手动跟踪使得追踪成分的来源并识别受影响的批次和成品变得困难。因此，Love and Quiches Gourmet 选择了最昂贵的解决方案：丢弃任何可能含有召回成分的产品。缺乏集成系统也阻碍了审计过程，使得难以掌握生产成本。Love and Quiches Gourmet 始终通过 FDA 审计；但是，由于记录驻留在多个应用程序中，审计过程非常耗时。同样的问题也出现在生产成本核算中，使得数据很难汇总到细粒度的层面。

解决方案
Love and Quiches Gourmet 聘请 IBM 业务合作伙伴 Vormittag Associates, Inc. (VAI) 实施其 VAI S2K Enterprise for Food ERP 应用程序。该系统是这家甜品制造商的首选，因为 VAI 执行了广泛的定制分析流程，包括业务需求研究、5 年拥有成本比较和实际实施成本报价。该系统依靠 IBM® DB2® Express Edition 软件进行数据仓库，并托管在 IBM iSeries® 平台上运行的 IBM Power® 720 Express 服务器技术上。IBM Cognos® Express 软件提供销售报告，IBM Global Financing 提供必要的资金。VAI S2K Enterprise for Food 应用程序与 Love and Quiches Gourmet 的技术模块无缝集成，包括库存管理、产品质量和物料需求计划。该解决方案还将销售数据与成本数据结合起来，提供对生产成本的洞察。ERP 系统以家族树格式捕获和跟踪批次数据：原材料的批号连接到相应的批料，而批料又连接到最终产品和装运细节。该系统创建了一个全面的交易文件，Love and Quiches Gourmet 可以使用它来追踪原材料并为审计员创建详细报告。该解决方案还提供了一个执行仪表板，管理人员可以在该仪表板上查看应收账款、应付账款、库存估价、销售订单和财务状况的摘要。

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.

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.
