Case Study: Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control achieves standardized reporting and cuts monthly financial close from two weeks to four days with Information Builders (WebFOCUS)

Propelling Corporate Performance Gains at Lockheed Martin

Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control faced fragmented reporting across legacy systems and packaged ERP software, making it difficult for users to self-serve financial and operational data. The organization needed a standard, web-based reporting environment that could deliver consistent, timely information to a broad and diverse user base across multiple sites.

Information Builders implemented WebFOCUS with iWay integration and consulting to create the Business Intelligence Enterprise Reporting (BIER) system, dashboards, ReportCaster, and a reliable data connectivity architecture for SAP and legacy sources. The solution established a corporate reporting standard, cut the monthly financial close from two weeks to four days, reduced demand on IT, boosted productivity, and improved data security and self-service access.
