Sunny Delight Beverages Company has chosen startup company Birst to minimize the amount of data analytic operation systems used in the company. The firm downsized from 8 different business intelligence applications to one single version of the truth. This has resulted in reducing overtime costs of production noticeably; moreover, Sunny Delight Beverages Company now hopes to focus Birst’s cloud solutions towards sales (Boulton). This post will highlight promising aspects of Sunny Delight Beverages Company and three considerations.
One
major point of the article by Clint Boulton is the profit. With the help of
Birst, Sunny Delight Beverages Company was able to see a broader picture of the
company’s operations. In that vantage point, they saw instances where employees
had to work overtime on the weekends in order to complete shipments that
happened to be more costly over the weekends. Birst was able to find this
weakness; moreover, they highlighted it as an opportunity for improvements.
Another major point is the accessibility of the Birst application to “business
managers with little technical know-how” (Boulton). The decision made by Sunny
Delight Beverages Company to choose Birst is a key factor in their success.
They chose a company founded by a man whose aim is quoted as providing a well-rounded
mastered product. “We are not trying to make BI simpler, or dumb it down, or
just do a piece of it, but do the whole thing, do it right, and bring
automation to it to make it a lot more productive” (Peters). While the system
was highly advanced in data operations, the system also produced quick results
for front end users. Lastly, the adaptability and amorphous quality of the
system is another highlight of the article.
Sunny Delight Beverages Company recouped costs on transportation, next
they look to find opportunities to improve sales.
