Cadbury Schweppes

By the late-1990s, Cadbury Schweppes was maintaining 25 different SAP systems. Maintenance was expensive and integration was difficult. Around 2000, the company established a program to move to three regional SAP systems worldwide and standardize processes around those systems. However, the rollout of this solution proved to be difficult and risky.  It then went on to implement a new approach, one based on SOA.  Now, solutions can be designed and developed as components or services. New systems can be deployed in a much more gradual way than they were before.  In essense, Cadbury Schweppes reduced the degree of risk generally associated with large rollouts and established greater flexibility and the ability to adapt more easily and quickly to change

Södra Cell

Södra Cell’s customers wanted access to market information, ability to purchase pulp at fixed prices and access better logistics and IT services. Sharing information seamlessly between customers and Södra Cell was essentially the business objective.  SOA was used to develop a unique solution to allow Södra Cell to own and manage its customers’ paper pulp stocks regardless of the underlying IT infrastructure.  As a result, customers can cut capital tied up in stock by up to a million euros and inventory costs by up to 200,000, annually. Working routines have been greatly simplified for all parties. Customers report that they can cut the administrative time of ordering and stock-keeping by 180–450 hours per year at each paper mill, thanks to automated processes via the portal and message exchange service.
