Pernod Ricard is using the Informatica PowerCenter
platform to globally standardise itsdata integrationrequirements.
Pernod Ricard owns a brand portfolio which includes
Ballantine's, Chivas Regal, Jameson Irish whiskey, Ricard pastis,
Martell cognac, Havana Club rum, and Beefeater gin.
Informatica was chosen to enhance the company's tactical
dash-boarding and business visibility as part of its
business intelligence standardisation initiative.
"With Informatica PowerCenter, we are able to process very large
volumes of data in record time. This is essential for guaranteeing
rapid access to Pernod Ricard's strategic information, and a large
number of analytic applications will now benefit," said Jean
Chavinier, Pernod Ricard group CIO.
"PowerCenter is one of the most comprehensive systems on the
market, with a large range of functions. These will be extremely
useful in the context of the development of our global IT systems
environment," said Chavinier.
Pernod Ricard needed to consolidate a number of disparate
systems following operational changes and multiple
acquisitions.
The implementation of a common ERP system was the catalyst for
change, and resulted in a project to overhaul the company's
analytical tools region by region, with a common data integration
solution collecting and sharing data across various
applications.
