Case Study: Ameritas achieves enterprise-wide self-service analytics and faster consolidated reporting with Information Builders' WebFOCUS

Ameritas Leverages Pervasive Analytics to Transform Business

Ameritas, a long‑established insurance and financial services company, struggled to get a single, accurate view of operations across diverse back‑end systems—including mainframe DB2 tables, homegrown claims systems, and numerous departmental files—making it difficult for IT, business users, and policyholders to access, analyze, and act on critical data.

Ameritas standardized on Information Builders’ WebFOCUS platform (with InfoAssist and ReportCaster), built a consolidated data warehouse, and deployed role‑based InfoApps and portals for self‑service reporting. The solution delivered over 1,000 dashboards and InfoApps, automated e‑statement delivery, supported ~700 internal and 5,000–7,000 external users, sped reporting from hours to near‑instant, reduced paper, and provided a foundation for enterprise analytics and better operational decision‑making.
