Case Study: Vermeer achieves self-service analytics and faster, more accurate decisions with Information Builders' WebFOCUS

Vermeer Extends Self-Service Analytics to Business Experts With WebFOCUS

Vermeer Corporation, a global manufacturer of industrial and agricultural equipment, struggled with fragmented data, “spreadmarts,” and time-consuming Excel-based reporting that produced inconsistent totals and slowed decision-making. Company leaders needed a way to put reliable business intelligence into the hands of managers to support a culture of continuous improvement and lean operations.

By implementing Information Builders’ WebFOCUS and App Studio and building a mastered data warehouse, Vermeer delivered self-service InfoApps, dashboards, and guided reports to business users. The initiative eliminated manual reporting, ensured consistent data across the organization, sped issue resolution, freed IT resources for analysis, and improved forecasting and operational decision-making.
