About The Customer
The Central Bottling Company (CBC) Group holds the Coca-Cola franchise for Israel and is the nation’s leading manufacturer and distributor of beverages. It is among Coca-Cola’s largest bottling facilities worldwide. Products range from mineral water to soft drinks, from all-natural fruit juices to beer. Franchise brands include Coca-Cola, Sprite, FUZE tea and Fanta. Annual revenue is more than 2 billion euros.
The Challenge
The Central Bottling Company (CBC) Group, which holds the Coca-Cola franchise for Israel, wanted to mobilize its retail portal as part of a broader initiative to speed up the ordering process. Smaller retailers were still placing orders with on-site sales people and through an online portal. By mobilizing the portal, the CBC Group aimed to create a convenient self-service channel for retailers. The Mobile Enterprise Application Platform (MEAP) needed to work with the largest variety of operating systems and offer superior time to market at minimal cost and with maximum internal support.
The Solution
The CBC Group selected Software AG’s webMethods Mobile Suite and consulting services to provide the solution. The retail portal is now available “on the go,” which greatly increases the efficiency of the ordering process. Retailers use the app to place orders and also get up-to-date information on product availability and delivery dates. In addition, the CBC Group uses the app to provide relevant information in real-time to target groups. The application is the first of its kind in Israel. Using webMethods Mobile Designer, the group develops mobile apps for multiple platforms and then deploys them natively to multiple mobile devices. The mobile channel is considered to be fast and dynamic. Software AG technology and consulting services helped prove a MEAP could be implemented and deliver results in only four months.

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. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. 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.
