Case Study: Bridgewater Bank achieves consistent, data-driven decisions and KPI transparency with Information Builders WebFOCUS

Bridgewater Bank Makes Business Intelligence an Inside Job

Bridgewater Bank, a Calgary-based Canadian Schedule I bank with about $2.85 billion in assets and over 39,000 accounts, faced inconsistent reporting and limited ability to drill into or visualize data across finance, operations, marketing and lending. Managers needed a single analytic system to encourage collaboration, monitor KPIs, enforce consistent definitions, and give employees at all levels reliable, actionable information.

Using Information Builders’ WebFOCUS platform (App Studio, Portal, InfoAssist and InfoApps), Bridgewater built a dozen role-based analytic portals, dashboards and reusable reports that support self-service BI, daily data audits and even geo-mapping during emergencies. The standardized environment improved data confidence, sped decision-making on cash flow, funding ratios and reserves, reduced risk exposure, boosted profitability and drove BI adoption well above typical deployment levels.
