Case Study: Visteon achieves unified reporting and real-time ERP visibility with Information Builders' WebFOCUS and iWay DataMigrator

iWay DataMigrator Renews Reporting Activities at Visteon

Information Builders helped Visteon, a global automotive components manufacturer, solve a complex data challenge: Visteon operated multiple ERP and legacy systems (including SAP R/3, QAD/Progress, and an IMS-based mainframe), so business users had to log into different systems and manually combine data to produce financial, purchasing, and supply‑chain reports. The company needed streamlined access, consistent data and new report types for employees and trading partners.

Using iWay DataMigrator, the iWay Universal Adapter Suite and the WebFOCUS BI platform, Information Builders consolidated data into a single reporting database and provided real‑time adapters to production systems. The result: self‑service dashboards and parameterized reports with drill‑down capability, removal of manual data consolidation, improved Purchasing and Accounts Payable workflows, a secure supplier portal, and broad adoption across the organization (hundreds of users), enabling faster, more consistent decision‑making.
