Case Study: BPM Northwest achieves two-week-to-two-day financial data processing and 25% cost savings with IBM Cloud (dashDB)

Accelerating access to financial data for timely and effective decision making

BPM Northwest was engaged by a wealth management client that needed to consolidate hundreds of spreadsheets into a single import file for their planning system; the existing manual process took up to two weeks and was inefficient. To address this, BPM Northwest implemented solutions built on IBM Cloud—using Bluemix and IBM dashDB—to modernize data staging and analytics for the client.

By leveraging IBM dashDB’s fast, in-database analytics on IBM Cloud, BPM Northwest converted the two-week manual workflow into a two-day service, delivering high-speed insights and deeper data analysis the client previously lacked. The IBM-powered solution also helped clients reduce more than 25% of their financial expenses related to closing and consolidating financial performance management activities.
