Case Study: Haskell achieves faster, more accurate ERP reporting and significant cost savings with Information Builders' WebFOCUS and iWay

Haskell Maximizes the Value of Its ERP Investments

Haskell, a U.S. design‑build firm delivering end‑to‑end architectural, engineering and construction services, struggled to extract timely, accurate insight from its JD Edwards ERP. With a small IT staff, slow report development and limited visibility into summary versus detail data, frontline managers lacked the operational information needed for fast, tactical decisions.

By deploying Information Builders’ WebFOCUS BI and iWay integration adapters, Haskell introduced web‑based, self‑service reporting (ReportCaster, Report Library, Active Reports, etc.) that preserved JD Edwards security and master data. Report development time fell from ~40 hours to a few, users gained drill‑down detail and automated alerts, and improved data quality delivered immediate savings (an $80,000 benefit from correcting duplicate workers’ comp charges), reduced IT support, and faster, better decision‑making across the company.
