Creating a data warehouse with custom order processing systems - Software AG Industrial IoT Case Study
Creating a data warehouse with custom order processing systems
Fabick Cat, a tractor dealer specializing in the distribution of Caterpillar® equipment, faced a challenge when it acquired a second Caterpillar dealership. The newly acquired dealership had its own custom-written order processing system running on OpenVMS with RMS files, different from Fabick Cat's IBM® AS/400 based system. Fabick Cat wanted a solution to provide a data warehouse for both systems to ensure uniform reporting and analytics for both companies. The initial plan was to FTP files from the OpenVMS server and load them into SQL Server. However, the amount of data downloaded every day and the manual nature of this approach raised concerns.

Consumer Health Leader Gets “Pain Relief” from Digital Business Platform - Software AG Industrial IoT Case Study
Consumer Health Leader Gets “Pain Relief” from Digital Business Platform
The company, a global leader in consumer health products, was facing several challenges. They wanted to 'win differently' with a digital business platform, improve access to information across the enterprise, reduce manual work and standardize processes, increase visibility across the global supply chain, and become more customer-centric. They were dealing with painful processes like manually collecting data from disconnected systems. The company had no way to detect issues in delivery flow, and customer interactions were reactive rather than proactive. Costs increased due to shipment escalations. The Approval for Product Release (APR) process was disjointed and required manually consolidating paper specs into binders across all R&D functions. Every region had a different framework with no way to monitor or share information. There was no workflow support, no integration to other systems.

Leading Coca-Cola Bottler Transforms IT and Meets Complex Business Challenge
Coca-Cola Erfrischungsgetraenke AG (CCEAG), the sole German bottler of The Coca-Cola Company and the largest beverage company in Germany, was chosen as a pilot center for the Coke One global template deployment. The project would ultimately impact more than 75 percent of CCEAG’s existing applications in a highly interdependent IT landscape. Close to 1,000 business processes had to be reviewed and aligned across seven key areas: market-to-order, order-to-cash, forecast-to-deploy, procure-to-pay, record-to-report, master data management and human resource management. This corresponded to roughly 120 enterprise applications, 300 operational interfaces, 900 BI interfaces and 150 business objects that were impacted. CCEAG’s decision to use Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) to facilitate its Coke One deployment was a clear project success factor.

Investing Wisely in Digital Transformation
The American Armed Forces Mutual Aid Association (AAFMAA) was facing a need for new digital services to attract a new generation of members. However, the business was anchored in legacy IT systems, and a rip-and-replace project was deemed too costly and risky.

Digital business transformation was the answer, but IT could barely handle current business needs. Rip-and-replace projects often seem like the only answer. But getting rid of old systems means losing decades of investments. Worst of all, these expensive multi-million dollar projects come with no guarantee of success. As a practiced investor used to managing risk, AAFMAA didn’t like these odds.

Integration Coming into Fashion
The luxury fashion company was facing several challenges. The growing customer demand for an omni-channel purchasing experience was not being met by the company's legacy IT systems. These outdated systems were unable to support the company's corporate goals and were leading to operational inefficiencies and high costs. The company also needed to unify its global inventory management solutions. Furthermore, the company was growing through acquisitions, which necessitated a system integration solution. The lack of a standardized application-to-application integration practice was causing transaction duplications, complicated processes for new partner onboarding, and costly, custom, point-to-point solutions. Different application release and governance cycles, and regular synchronization issues between the three ERP and warehouse systems, meant management was laborious and costly. It also made accurately assessing stock levels or cash flow impossible.
