挑战
美国食品公司是美国最大的食品经销商之一，其 5,000 人的现场团队面临着巨大挑战。这些员工需要亲自与客户会面并为他们提供服务，当他们试图在客户现场用笔记本电脑提交采购订单时，却遇到了不可靠的连接问题。这经常导致工作中断和时间浪费，因为他们必须重新登录 VPN 连接并重新启动应用程序。不良的连接性还对库存管理产生了负面影响，因为销售代表直到一天结束才知道产品是否缺货。这导致与客户的潜在销售时间损失了 110 万小时，并且每年在预印材料上花费了 800,000 美元。
关于客户
US Foods 是美国最大的食品经销商之一。该公司为各种食品企业提供服务，从连锁和家族经营的餐厅和酒店到企业自助餐厅。US Foods 拥有一支由 5,000 名员工组成的现场团队，负责与客户见面并亲自为他们服务。这些现场销售代表在提交订单、提供产品库存和交货日期方面发挥着主要作用。然而，该公司注意到，订单通常是在工作日快结束时一次性下达，而不是全天下达，从而造成大量积压。
解决方案
US Foods 实施了移动性能管理软件 NetMotion Mobility®，以确保可靠的连接。该软件在具有挑战性的网络和运营条件下保持持续、可靠连接的卓越能力正是 US Foods 所需要的。销售代表不再需要担心无覆盖区域、盲区、信号弱或漫游。他们只需连接一次，即可不间断地为客户提供服务。Mobility 是该公司 SAP Afaria 移动设备管理解决方案的完美补充。销售人员现在可以在客户面前实时检查库存水平，而不必为“计算机问题”道歉，也不必等到下班后才下订单。此外，NetMotion 对 US Foods 的信息安全和管理政策的检查发现，员工设备经常长时间容易受到恶意软件的攻击。将 Mobility 与 Afaria 的移动设备管理功能相结合，销售代表现在可以在晚上开机远程更新笔记本电脑，从而弥补关键的网络安全漏洞并保护企业及其客户。

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.
