For us, success is to put a Corona beer on the table of each one of our consumers throughout 150 countries. With IBM, we have the power to win.
Corona is sold in more than 150 countries worldwide. The issue of globalization is one of the issues we’re immersed in order to be an efficient business.

Grupo Modelo looked at various approaches and decided upon the Services Oriented Architecture. That showed them how their business initiatives one the one hand and the various pieces of technology and applications that they had could be brought together through the SOA approach in order to move forward. To serve the customer, it is imperative that we understand where they need to go.

We see IBM as our technology partner. IBM not only handles the best products in terms of software, but also has the added value of integrating all the services.

Modelo needs us to be creative. At the end of the day, their success is my success
