Case Study: Belcan achieves real-time JD Edwards access and optimized project management with Information Builders' WebFOCUS

WebFOCUS Optimizes Project Management at Belcan

Belcan Corporation, a Cincinnati-based provider of engineering, staffing and outsourcing solutions, relied on JD Edwards World on an IBM i platform for core operations but struggled with inconsistent data definitions, platform-upgrade issues and slow, fragmented access to critical JD Edwards data needed for effective project reporting and management.

Information Builders deployed WebFOCUS with its JD Edwards adapter, InfoAssist and Professional Services to deliver native, real-time access and a centralized project-management dashboard with drill-downs, color-coded alerts and multi-format exports. The solution eliminated duplicate/misallocated charges, reduced cost overruns, sped customer responses, received strong user adoption and set the stage for broader rollouts, mobile access and expanded P&L analytics.
