Case Study: Mayline achieves 75% faster report development and actionable data insights with Fortra Sequel Data Access

Mayline Quickly Turns Data into Insight with Sequel Data Access

Mayline, a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of office furniture and storage products, had plenty of data but struggled to turn it into actionable insight. Their legacy Query/400 environment faced declining internal skills, growing requests for Excel access, and time-consuming RPG-based reporting that left IT overwhelmed and many reports still printed.

Mayline implemented Sequel Data Access from HelpSystems on their IBM i, gaining browser-based dashboards, one-click Excel exports, and easy sharing of standardized queries across locations while leveraging existing SQL skills. The result: report development time fell by 75%, IT became more agile, and a small investment delivered broad, company-wide access to timely, actionable data.
