A Fortra Case Study
Mayline Company, a longtime North American manufacturer of office furniture and storage, needed to modernize its reporting and turn growing volumes of data into actionable knowledge. The company faced legacy printed reports, declining Query/400 skills, widespread requests for Excel access, and a desire to reduce report development costs while leveraging its IBM i and SQL expertise.
Mayline implemented SEQUEL, an IBM i–native, intuitive reporting and dashboard solution that supports browser access and one‑click Excel exports. SEQUEL’s self‑documenting dashboards and familiar interface shortened learning curves, cut report development time by at least 75%, increased IT productivity and responsiveness, and enabled faster, more profitable decision‑making.
