Case Study: Western Power Distribution achieves enterprise-wide BI and faster, better decision-making with Information Builders' WebFOCUS

WebFOCUS helps Western Power Distribution Keep the Lights On

Western Power Distribution (WPD) is the electricity distribution operator for South West England and South Wales, managing 83,000 km of lines, 90,000 substations and about 2,300 staff. WPD faced fragmented reporting from multiple enterprise systems and needed an enterprise-wide BI platform to give a single, consistent view of the business and faster, more flexible reporting for users at all levels.

WPD deployed Information Builders’ WebFOCUS with iWay Intelligent Adaptors to integrate diverse data sources and standardise reporting. The solution increased BI adoption across the organisation, enabled self-service and real-time reporting, reduced reliance on IT for report creation, and improved performance monitoring by tracking and measuring KPIs for quicker, better-informed decisions.
