The Insider's Guide to Business and IT Agility

FullTilt Solutions, a provider of Collaborative Product Information Management (CPIM) software and a custom software development and integration services company, says McCain Foods Ltd., one of the world’s largest producers of quality frozen foods and the world's largest processor of French fried potatoes, has selected FullTilt’s I-Accel as its CPIM software.
FullTilt says McCain “recently conducted an exhaustive evaluation of CPIM software in an effort to best synchronize its product information across more than 55 production facilities on six continents and more than 20,000 employees worldwide. In addition, McCain needs to effectively be able to electronically synchronize that data externally with their global trading partners and industry registries.”
“I-Accel will help McCain effectively coordinate product information flows throughout our enterprise, with our trading partners, and with providers like UCCnet and ECCnet,” said Don Luby, Director of IT Planning and e-Business at McCain Foods. “FullTilt has developed what we found to be the best Collaborative Product Information Management solution on the market for McCain's needs. We see I-Accel and the people at FullTilt as a competitive differentiator and a foundational requirement for our future B2B initiatives." “McCain is pioneering the global data synchronization movement,” said Bob Moyer, president of FullTilt. “FullTilt is proud to be working with this international leader as they develop product information management and data synchronization as core competencies key to providing value to their customers.” FullTilt explains that, “The retail industry is currently faced with the enormous challenge of sharing product information through global trading networks as well as between their own internal systems. Within the enterprise, retailers must produce and update content in a timely fashion, leverage existing media assets, translate copy to various languages, and assure the quality of customer-facing information, quickly and cost-effectively. Companies must also deliver accurate and current product information to multiple Internet commerce websites, exchanges, data pools/registries, trading partners and internal systems in many different exacting formats and in a variety of protocols. Amid this changing environment, I-Accel stands apart as a uniquely valuable tool. It is a comprehensive, web-based, CPIM software product with a shared enterprise-wide repository; its flexibility enables it to be used by manufacturers, distributors, retailers, exchanges and data pools across multiple industries to synchronize data within and beyond the enterprise.”
"McCain's intention to use I-Accel to manage product information worldwide was driven in part by the industry-wide call for data synchronization around UCCnet and its Canadian counterpart ECCnet,” said Luby. “It also is a direct response to our need to deliver standardized quality information to our customers, and to improve our overall business process efficiencies.”
