A Case Study for Search from Opentext
August 13, 2014
The Customer Story about Distell on OpenText tells of the successful South African beverage company. The “article” might provide a search case study. Opentext is an information management software that offers guidance in content management, archiving, web content management, and a myriad of other pursuits within the umbrella of “unleashing the power of information.” The article provides a list of bullet points about the company and an About section that states,
“Distell is Africa’s leading producer and marketer of spirits, fine wines, ciders, and ready-to-drinks (RTDs). It employs nearly 5,000 people and has an annual turnover in excess of R12,3 billion. When Distell was formed in 2000 it had 1,700 information workers but due to mainly organic growth and the acquisitions of Bisquit, a French cognac company, and Burn Stewart Distillers, a Scottish whisky producer, that has now grown to 3,000 users spread across over 80 offices, mainly in Southern Africa, but also in eight international locations.”
Otherwise it has a movie and lots of dot points. Substantive cost overrun info? Nope. Of course there is also a link to the full story, a three page PDF that provides detailed information about the company and its prospects. But the dot points are a lot more appealing.
