挑战
Printpack had been using Oracle Hyperion Planning and Essbase for over 15 years for budgeting and management reporting and was handling financial consolidation and reporting via Excel® spreadsheets. The design of these systems carried too many risks and points of failure with data having to be moved between systems. In addition, there were multiple points of maintenance for meta data. The big impact of this was the risk of producing inaccurate data and spending too much time on system administration. In addition, it took the Finance team too long to produce monthly financial statements, and it was difficult to accommodate change requests from management. In 2016, the Finance team reviewed their processes, identified the risks, and concluded they needed a better consolidation and reporting system. They also realized it would be better to have a single system to manage all CPM processes.

解决方案
The company evaluated several leading corporate performance management (CPM) solutions, and within a few weeks of seeing OneStream, it became clear that it was a leading option. Printpack was impressed with the history of its founders and senior staff in relation to their work and development of other CPM applications. They were attracted to the unified CPM platform approach of OneStream, its functionality, and extensibility. Compared to some of the other potential solutions, Printpack was more impressed with OneStream’s partner network, including many leading Oracle partners. Printpack initially implemented OneStream Cloud for consolidation and reporting of actual financial results. The solution integrates data directly from the JD Edwards GL, automates currency conversion, accommodates partial ownerships, and performs legal entity eliminations across multiple hierarchies for US GAAP, IFRS, and management reporting. With the help of OneStream Consulting, the rollout was completed in four months. Printpack then focused on converting their management reporting from Essbase to OneStream, with the help of OneStream partner Finit. This project was completed in roughly three months. Then it was on to converting their budgeting process from Hyperion Planning to OneStream. This phase was completed in roughly two months.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

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.
