Case Study: OHL (Obrascón Huarte Lain) reduces reporting time from weeks to days, cuts IT costs and unifies planning with Board Intelligent Planning

Reducing performance reporting from weeks to days, cutting IT costs, and maximizing efficiency across projects and personnel

Obrascón Huarte Lain (OHL) is a global infrastructure and construction group with €2.9 billion in revenue, 18,800 employees and operations in over 20 countries. Rapid growth and acquisitions left the business with fragmented data across multiple databases, CRMs and spreadsheets, producing slow, error‑prone reporting and manual bid/tender analysis that consumed about one FTE per month and prevented fast, accurate executive insight.

OHL implemented the Board Intelligent Planning platform as a single point of truth, consolidating data sources, automating ETL and rolling out board-level dashboards and self‑service analytics in phases. The result: performance reporting cut from weeks to days, three legacy systems replaced (reducing IT costs), weekly automated data refreshes, standardized KPIs, stronger governance and accountability, and faster, more informed decision‑making with plans to expand Board across the organization.
