挑战
Apollo Vredestein, a Dutch tire producer, was facing the challenge of producing a consolidated reporting system that could convey data from a multitude of sources in a consistent way. This was to simplify reporting, analytics, and information delivery throughout the enterprise. The company had a best-of-breed IT strategy, using a combination of packaged and homegrown systems to meet its business needs. However, this made it difficult to achieve a single, consolidated view of critical information for decision-making purposes. The company needed a solution that could address this challenge and provide a comprehensive business intelligence platform for reporting, analyzing, and presenting business information.
解决方案
To address this challenge, Apollo Vredestein acquired Information Builders WebFOCUS, a comprehensive business intelligence (BI) platform for reporting, analyzing, and presenting business information. The ease of use and inherent scalability of WebFOCUS made everyone in the organization an informed decision-maker. The company created the Vredestein Information Portal (VIP), a centralized system where authorized users could access reports and analyze information. The robust WebFOCUS security architecture ensured that each user could only view information relevant to his or her department, role, and level within the organization. The implementation of WebFOCUS went very smoothly and its performance exceeded expectations. Now, employees throughout the enterprise access VIP to obtain rich, interactive information. WebFOCUS provides one enterprise BI platform for all data-access and delivery needs.
