BI Case Study: Leading Manufacturing Company

The Challenge: After a long history of acquisition and growth, a multibillion-dollar manufacturing conglomerate based in Dallas faced integration challenges across its international geographies and business units. Redundant information was stored in multiple systems without proper data quality, standards, or governance.

The company needed a business analytics assessment in order to:

• Review the current enterprise architecture from both a systems and design perspective
• Understand how the company can leverage business intelligence methods to improve reporting and analytics capabilities
• Provide IT leadership with insight for improving the system architecture to get the most out of their current technology investment

The Solution: The assessment provided a top-down strategy for the company, taking into account 18 applications and over 800 interfaces within the existing enterprise architecture. The proposed recommendations were cost-effective, sustainable, and flexible enough to adapt to changing business needs and industry regulations.
