About The Customer
Rubio’s Fresh Mexican Grill is a restaurant chain that was born from a group of friends camping on the beach and basking in the sun at San Felipe. After first tasting a fish taco in San Felipe, Mexico, Ralph Rubio returned to San Diego to hand-craft his own recipe and introduced America to the fish taco. Since 1983, Rubio’s has served delicious fish tacos and fresh Mexican food for customers. Rubio’s Restaurants has grown to 200 locations more than 3,250 employees across the Southwest. The company’s commitment to its employees led Rubio’s to expand its partnership with NAVEX Global to strengthen its culture of ethics, integrity, and good ideas.
The Challenge
Rubio’s, a restaurant chain with over 200 locations and 3,250 employees, wanted to increase its understanding of the risks it faced. The company was particularly interested in improving the way employees communicate their concerns to management. Rubio’s already used NAVEX Global’s hotline to meet federal whistleblowing standards, but it was intended only for reporting major ethical issues. The company wanted to expand the use of the hotline as a comprehensive communication tool for reporting anything that might compromise the wellbeing of employees and other stakeholders. This would provide greater insight into potential financial misconduct and other risk issues.
The Solution
Rubio’s decided to expand its use of NAVEX Global’s hotline and EthicsPoint case management software. The hotline was promoted as an employee feedback tool, and calls started to come in. Both the People’s Services and Internal Audit departments use NAVEX Global’s case management software to handle cases. The structured, centralized database increases efficiency. Every detail of the report is documented, from the issue to the follow-up and resolution. This saves time and increases speed. The reporting system gives employees more confidence that Rubio’s is acting in their best interest, and it adds a new level of transparency to what the organization is doing.

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.

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.
