挑战
Icicle Seafoods 是北美最大、最多元化的海鲜公司之一，其遗留会计系统面临着重大挑战。如果没有大量的手动工作，基于 DOS 的内部系统无法以有用的动态格式提供数据访问。该公司花费了太多时间手动将销售、库存、会计和总账数据转换为有用的动态格式。信息被锁定在 PDF 和其他无法访问的文件类型中，这使得该公司很难使用其数据来创建简单的时间表和财务报表。更复杂的功能，例如分析和预测，远远超出了他们的能力范围。这种低效率对于一家公司来说是一个真正的问题，因为该公司的成功取决于尽可能快速有效地将产品从渔业运送到市场。

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.
