Case Study: Alpha Bank achieves timely, accurate regulatory reporting and real-time business insights with Information Builders (WebFOCUS & iWay)

Alpha Bank Weathers Greek Financial Crisis With Information Builders

Alpha Bank, one of Greece’s largest banks with operations in nine countries, faced a critical reporting challenge during the financial crisis: regulators and managers required complex, traceable reports on a daily basis, but the MIS team was stuck consolidating data from some 40 source systems into Microsoft Access and Excel, wasting time extracting data instead of delivering insight.

Working with Applied Science, Alpha Bank deployed Information Builders’ WebFOCUS and iWay DataMigrator to build a nightly-loaded data mart, ETL processes with auditing and common metadata, and a GUI for unstructured inputs. The result: fast, reliable ad hoc and regulatory reporting with full traceability, accurate daily insights for monitoring spreads and rates, quicker decision-making during the crisis, and preserved profitability and customer relationships.
