The Challenge
This Global Engineering organization is undergoing a program of work that includes the deployment of three projects – ERP, CRM, and BI across the EMEA division. The main driver for the program was the deployment of a consolidated and up-to-date ERP platform using JD Edwards to replace a business-critical ERP solution.
The BI Project aimed to replace the legacy Cognos platform with a Modern Data Platform on Microsoft Azure, delivering a lower-cost, agile reporting tool that enabled a consolidated and accurate view of key business information, better supporting business decisions, and reducing the need for manual reporting. Adatis was charged with delivering the Modern Data Platform component of the program.
Some main drivers were:
- Replacing complex legacy systems with increasing maintenance costs with a more cost-effective BI Platform.
- Providing a consolidated and accurate reporting platform with ERP and CRM data that is trusted by the business.
- Reducing manual manipulation and time spent on non-value activities.
