Short clip: Del Monte giving users the tools for independent analysis

>> I often hear about performance driven organizations and using IT technologies to really improve performance and yet on the other hand I hear about companies that say they spend 70% of their IT budget on integration issues is it pretty much the same for you?

>> 5 years ago I would say that was true we probably did spend 70% of our budget on integration related issues. I would say that that really has turned around quite a bit. We've put in platforms and technologies that allow us to in a cross business manner understand and have visibility to our business and really down to the driver level so we can understand what kinds of things are happening in our market places and with our products and in our manufacturing locations and then make decisions against it and we put in place standardized tools and we have a pretty robust user base that knows how to use those tools that can on a self service basis do online analyses and scenario planning.
