Case Study: Navistar International achieves improved driver efficiency and increased vehicle uptime with BMC Software's Control-M for Hadoop

Leading commercial truck manufacturer Navistar harnesses big data to improve driver efficiency and grow customer uptime

Navistar, a leading manufacturer of commercial trucks, buses and engines, captures about 20 million telematics records daily through its OnCommand Connection remote diagnostics. The company was spending significant time and resources manually aggregating, normalizing and moving that big data into a Hadoop environment and needed an automated, scalable way to streamline those workflows and accelerate insight generation.

BMC’s Control‑M for Hadoop automated development, scheduling, management and monitoring of Hadoop workflows alongside other enterprise jobs, speeding data consolidation and analysis (5× faster creation of actionable data). The solution eliminated two full‑time manual roles for data collection, saved engineers about 20% of their work time, engaged developers in scheduling, and improved Navistar’s ability to deliver remote diagnostics and maximize vehicle uptime.
