ARCOR
ARCOR is the world’s leading candy manufacturer and the main exporter of confectionery from Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru.
Founded over 60 years ago, ARCOR owns many of Latin America’s leading consumer brands. ARCOR employs over 20,000 people, with revenues of over $3.3 billion and products in more than 120 countries, with 39 industrial plants and a production volume of three million kilograms per day.
Customer Challenge
A 2010 IT infrastructure review concluded that the standard JD Edwards purge and archive tools would not meet their needs, and the IT team did not have capacity to build a solution in-house.
Arcor had determined that the performance of their ERP system was negatively impacted by large data volumes. They knew that the standard JD Edwards tools were insufficient for the sheer scale of their purge and archive needs. Arcor investigated the challenge, and decided that the development of a custom tool by the internal team was too time consuming.
WHY ARCOR CHOSE REDFAIRE INTERNATIONAL
The IT team chose Redfaire International for their experience in food industry ERP and Redwaire Data Archiving for JD Edwards data purging and archiving because it was a proven solution with over 500 global clients.
Redwaire is the product development division of Redfaire International - where highly skilled software developers, UX experts, Database & Middleware Integration experts, QA Testing and product managers all work with one aim - to increase the productivity of clients’ ERP applications.
Partner requirements.
- A specialist team was required to improve ERP performance.
- Proven approach and methodology.
- Capability to handle other technologies.
- Ability to work with large data volumes.
- Partner needed to demonstrate strong return on investment in other similar projects.
The IT team could quickly and easily configure the archiving tool to optimize the Demantra database. The modules were configured in a matter of days and went live in a controlled, scheduled manner.
Outcomes
The project focused on critical processes and showed immediate productivity improvements including better ERP performance and fewer issues with database timeouts in the production environment. This saved time and money, allowing the IT team to focus on higher value tasks.
In fact, Redwaire Data Archiving was considered such a success, it was also extended to other applications and Demantra projects, proving the solution an ideal template for virtually any data archiving requirements.
