Ghirardelli Chocolate Company

Abstract

The Mayans started the passion of converting a simple cocoa bean into something exotic thousands of years ago. Ghirardelli Chocolate Company over 150 years has come to be known as a manufacturer of premium chocolate products. It is America's longest continuously operating chocolate manufacturer since 1852.

To prepare for the future and help improve business efficiencies, Ghirardelli relooked at how it managed data throughout its manufacturing operations. Just like its rigorous processes, controls, methods and proprietary blends, Ghirardelli looked for an equally robust solution to archive data in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Do you want to know how your company can continue to create magical products while managing its voluminous data effectively?

What is This Session All About?

In this session we will learn from Ghirardelli will detail how they have adopted database archiving for their JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to improve application performance, streamline storage provisioning and enforced data governance for their enterprise applications data.

The session will also discuss some of the best practices for implementing database archiving for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications using Solix Enterprise Data Management Suite (EDMS).

Discussion Topics

* Improve application performance
* Implement a data governance management policy
* Improve decisions and regulatory compliance
* Improve efficiency and reduce costs
* Managing large data volumes efficiently
* Seamless integration into the IT environment

Who Should Attend?

Anyone who is looking for a solution that addresses the problem of database archiving, managing data growth, and implementing data governance policies for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications.

Unprecedented data growth is overwhelming the enterprise IT infrastructure resulting in operational inefficiencies, security and compliance risks and reduced application development productivity. One instance of the cascading effect of operational inefficiency is when Infrastructure Group has to deliver Clones, say for application testing for a new business initiative.

In this session, we will see how Duke Energy, a Fortune 500 company, has benefited from a holistic Test Data Management Strategy and learn best practices on how to improve operational inefficiencies and improve business agility.

We will see how Duke Energy using the Solix Enterprise Data Management Platform:

* Provisions rapidly small test data subsets of Customer and Financial data;
* reduces project storage requirements;
* secures sensitive data in test copies;
* improves the application development lifecycle.

During the session we will learn that adopting a framework and discipline of a comprehensive Test Data Management Strategy is a best practice since businesses can no longer afford long application development cycles and nor can they afford data breaches.
