挑战
Rewards arvato services, a subsidiary of arvato AG, is a leading supplier worldwide of consultation, sourcing, and logistics for awards and customer loyalty programs. The company serves 30 national and international companies, supplying consumers in 62 countries with around 1,500 different articles. To offer optimum service and operate economically, arvato must continuously evaluate customer, product, and supplier data from some three million data records. Previously, standard reports were prepared within the retail system, with data from two systems and a SQL sales application exported, then imported into table calculation lists, and compiled. However, as the number of customers increased, it became increasingly difficult to compile the information. The old system would run into limits due to the high load from the various analytical requirements.

解决方案
Arvato sought an alternative solution that could directly combine and evaluate data from different sources without having to first configure them separately in different programs. They wanted a solution that would not only be used by classic BI users such as management or Controlling but also by employees from various departments such as Sales and Purchasing. After considering various BI suppliers, arvato chose QlikView as its new analysis and reporting tool. A total of 25 reports were prepared, along with an affiliate, arvato systems | Technologies, for Purchasing, Sales and Warehousing, Controlling, and management. The solution allowed for quick and easy analysis of data, improving the overall quality of the process.

Flex Contact Center: Supporting rapid business growth with IBM Connections Cloud and IBM Verse
Flex Contact Center, a professional services company offering telesales, call-center, anti-attrition, back-office, helpdesk and collection services, has grown rapidly since its establishment in 2009.

PureFluent: Connecting to partners and customers through the cloud for enhanced productivity
PureFluent, a translation services company, was facing challenges in managing its translation and document review processes. The company often received files in uneditable formats from customers, which required staff members to transfer text to word processing or spreadsheet documents. During the translation process, maintaining version control was a challenge because PureFluent sent work to hundreds of translators in multiple geographic locations. It was also time-consuming for staff to manage the large volume of emails and FTP transactions required to submit translations for customer review and ensure the integration of requested changes.
