Case Study: Los Angeles County achieves real-time self-service analytics and cost savings with Information Builders' WebFOCUS

Los Angeles County - Customer Case Study

Information Builders helped the County of Los Angeles’ Chief Executive Office Compensation Section modernize analytics for a 100,000-employee workforce. The team had relied on nightly mainframe data dumps and custom coding, which made reports slow and limited analysts’ ability to respond to requests or support labor negotiations and salary decisions.

Using WebFOCUS (AppStudio, Portal, InfoAssist) plus Professional Services and training, Information Builders delivered a menu-driven, self-service analytics portal with real-time queries, dashboards and mobile/Excel outputs. The result: complicated queries that once took a day or weeks to produce now run in minutes, fewer analysts do the same work, mainframe load and costs have fallen, and the county can make faster, data-driven compensation and bargaining decisions.
