Case Study: Large Multinational Food Processing Company standardizes global business processes to cut costs and boost revenue with Denodo Technologies

Large Multinational Food Processing Company Standardizes Global Business Processes to Lower Costs and Increase Revenue

This global leader in food processing, which turns crops into ingredients for food, industrial products, renewable energy and animal feed for customers in over 200 countries, faced fragmentation after multiple acquisitions. Disjointed business processes and a heavy, ETL-driven data integration effort left teams “constantly moving data around,” created long lead times and high costs, and lacked fine-grained, vendor-agnostic access controls.

The company deployed the Denodo Platform’s data virtualization layer as a “virtual front door” to dozens of sources (SAP S4, Oracle JDE, legacy warehouses, Azure Data Lake/SQL, external APIs), enabling real-time access without moving data, plus object-level security and three user personas. Universal semantic models and integration with Power BI, Azure ML and Synapse improved self-service analytics, governance and risk control, cut integration time and costs, standardized global processes, sped customer response and helped increase revenue.
