Requirement

The challenge

The company does business in 170 countries, and each had its own data strategy. This led to information silos and made delivering reporting a nightmare for the IT team.

Many operations used QlikView internally, which is not an enterprise-scalable application when it comes to several terabytes of data and tens of thousands of users.

Solution

What we did

  • Provided a roadmap for migrating from QlikView to the SAP BusinessObjects platform, enabling the IT team to deliver a centralised reporting solution.
  • Trained and empowered the architects from the client's teams in Singapore and the US on the architectural differences between QlikView and SAP BusinessObjects and how to migrate effortlessly.

Outcomes

What changed for the client

  • The company arrived at a global strategy of implementing SAP BusinessObjects across the board, giving both business and IT access to a scalable, efficient platform rather than information silos.
  • The architects and development team are equipped to undertake this transformation of the entire organisation to a more robust solution.
