Case Study: BC Housing achieves streamlined integration and improved data quality with Information Builders

iWay Improves Data Quality, Accuracy, and Consistency for Canada's BC Housing

Information Builders helped BC Housing, the provincial agency that manages subsidized housing for more than 100,000 B.C. households, tackle fragmented legacy systems, inconsistent data, and manual processes that hindered internal reporting and information sharing with external partners and banks. BC Housing needed a single source of truth, better data quality and consolidation across multiple ERPs and databases, and an easier way for citizens to apply for assistance.

Using iWay Service Manager, DataMigrator, Data Quality Server and WebFOCUS, Information Builders integrated internal ERPs, formatted secure batch files for banking partners, automated online application intake, and profiled and de-duplicated legacy data into a unified warehouse. The result: flawless monthly subsidy transactions, faster, paperless application processing, more dependable reporting, reduced manual work and testing time, and quicker, more accurate assistance for citizens.
