Case Study: JM Family Enterprises achieves real-time data access and lower mainframe costs with Attunity

With Attunity and Cognos, JM Family is in the driver’s seat for reporting and analysis

JM Family Enterprises, a large U.S. automotive corporation, needed faster access to data from multiple sources and better reporting and analysis across mainframe and distributed systems. Its existing replication and connectivity processes were costly and time-consuming, taking about 40 hours per month and creating maintenance burdens. JM Family turned to Attunity, using the Attunity Integration Suite alongside Cognos and Informatica to standardize connectivity and change data capture.

Attunity implemented near real-time data synchronization with Attunity Connect and CDC with Attunity Stream, enabling JM Family to integrate DB2/MVS, VSAM, Oracle, SQL Server, and other systems with far less manual effort. The result was sub-second operational updates, reduced mainframe processing and batch windows, lower costs, and significant ROI measured in thousands of dollars, while improving access to real-time, actionable data for better decision-making.
