"We are an organization that prides itself on our technical capabilities and the depth of our skill set. A decision was made to make that investment [in HPE Helion Cloud technology], which would allow us to leverage the capabilities that we have in house and to also ensure that we could be accountable for the solutions that we were delivering to our clients."
"From a server perspective, we’d already decided to move to Hewlett Packard Enterprise expertise as we sought only the best of the best technologies. We regard the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen 9 Server as one of the finest in the world. Most importantly, we knew the HPE equipment would integrate well with our chosen virtualisation and replication technologies across the Wide Area Network.”
"The biggest attraction of the HPE Moonshot System is that the cluster environment built with 45 server nodes and 180 cores can be housed in just 4.3U of space. We were surprised to be operating at such low power consumption levels for the entire system, which averages about 2,800W. That is comparable to the power needed for small home appliances.”
"Shorter IT provision times mean that companies within the Otto Group can implement their own business projects, and therefore innovations, significantly faster than before. This includes a number of projects which are driving digital transformation within the Group – something that is a top priority for us."
"Had we not been able to work with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to implement this process of total transformation, we would be far behind the competition."
"Virtualization is, for us, a means to cope with the increasing pressure on the market and to bring products faster on the market, to have a better customer experience.”
"By partnering with HPE, we were able to quickly design, develop, and integrate a new product based on full automation, virtualized production, and fast time to service."
"Courage is the most important transformation lesson. Because there will be setbacks, and courage gives you the focus to overcome setbacks."
“The odds were against us, but the common will of our two organizations overcame those odds. HPE showed the true meaning of commitment. They proved to us, as they will prove to other companies, that words and mes - sages are only good when deeds follow closely behind.”
"We had consultants come in and tell us, ‘good luck, but you don’t have a prayer."
"Ultimately, our strategy resolves to meeting our customers’ needs. By helping us achieve this business transformation, HPE has positioned us to pinpoint our attention and resources on delighting consumers who know and love the Del Monte brand. And there is nothing more important to us than that."
"The advanced capabilities of HPE Cloud Service Automation and HPE Operations Orchestration for managing the service catalog and creating and maintaining new services were the key features that made us select HPE."
"Winning races is our goal, and everything we do is guided by efficiency. HPE has knowledge and experience with the demanding conditions of building and maintaining infrastructure to compete in major sporting events. HPE serves as an important part of our team and provides skills and expertise that support our ongoing operations."
"With the Oracle database, producing the Material Resource Planning reports took one-and-a-half to two hours, so we had to do it overnight – the system didn’t enable me to run it again during the day. Now, with the AppSystem for SAP HANA, it takes an average of only 10 to 15 minutes to run the MRP, so I can do this two or three times within a day."
"There’s been a 50 to 60 per cent reduction in dispatching delays due to SAP HANA and the Hewlett Packard Enterprise system. With fewer trucks delayed, we save money.”
