Case Study: Standard Motor Products achieves streamlined JD Edwards integration and secure, automated reporting with Fortra Sequel and Robot Schedule

Standard Motor Products Gets More Mileage From Sequel

Standard Motor Products, a Long Island City–based manufacturer and distributor of automotive replacement parts, faced compatibility and data-access challenges after migrating to IBM's POWER7 and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Their legacy JD Edwards World Writer tools required manual conversions and programmer support, and a prior data-dissemination incident made robust, role-based security a top priority.

They deployed HelpSystems Sequel (with Robot Schedule) to provide native integration with the JD Edwards data dictionary, a user-friendly graphical SQL interface, and controls that map to their custom security model. The result: faster ad-hoc reporting, reduced IT dependence, secure, controlled data access, automated report distribution, and strong ongoing support that delivered measurable productivity improvements.
