Kalido Helps Cadbury Schweppes' Migrate Orangina

Kalido Ltd, a global information integration software vendor, has been selected by Cadbury Schweppes European Beverages to facilitate the migration of Orangina to its own reporting and business intelligence standards.

Kalido Ltd's software, KALIDO Dynamic Information Warehouse, will deliver integrated information in just two months, a radically accelerated time scale for projects of this scale and complexity.

Following the completion of its acquisition of Orangina in November 2001, Cadbury Schweppes turned to Kalido Ltd to help it speedily integrate the beverages company within its portfolio. The KALIDO Warehouse will be used to link Orangina's key financial information into Cadbury Schweppes' business intelligence reporting system. This solution will provide Cadbury Schweppes with the rapid ability to monitor and manage the business performance of Orangina within its standard business reporting formats.

Robin Longden, IT director of Cadbury Schweppes European Beverages, said: "The acquisition of Orangina is a highly strategic purchase for Cadbury Schweppes. Kalido Ltd will help facilitate our post merger process with its information integration solution, in the lead up to our company-wide integration initiative PROBE."

Gerry O'Brien, vice president of global sales of Kalido Ltd, added: "Our solution will support Cadbury Schweppes in its post-merger process by rapidly integrating key financial information into their business intelligence reporting system. We will complete this within an aggressive timeframe in just two months -- a practically unheard of timescale for integration of this scale."

The KALIDO Dynamic Information Warehouse is information integration software for accelerated business insight. The KALIDO Warehouse's unique Adaptive Data Architecture means it can readily adapt to business change, resulting in faster implementations at lower cost. Rapidly changing enterprises are implementing the KALIDO solution for master reference data integration and federated data warehousing to improve business performance and enhance corporate agility.
