Case Study: Schneider National achieves 35% lower data warehousing costs and faster development with Informatica PowerCenter

The Informatica platform is key to Schneider National's data warehousing and business intelligence initiatives enabling increased responsiveness to customers

Schneider National is one of North America’s largest truckload carriers, hauling 11,100 loads per day with 9,600 company trucks, 31,000 trailers and 168 facilities across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and China, serving more than two-thirds of the FORTUNE 500. The company needed analytics on invoices, freight payments, claims and satellite-collected carrier delivery data, and faced the challenge of integrating eight different relational and non-relational systems, simplifying development and maintenance, boosting developer productivity up to fourfold, and enabling an online self-service portal to improve customer service.

By deploying Informatica PowerCenter to access, integrate and deliver data without hand coding, Schneider streamlined its data warehousing and BI initiatives, improved responsiveness to customers and recouped its investment through productivity gains. The initiative cut data warehousing operating costs by 35%, reduced IT development and maintenance time and costs, preserved data integrity while simplifying processes, and strengthened sales strategies and customer relationships.
