Case Study: Elcom achieves $1B+ procurement savings and improved fraud prevention with OpenText Information Hub (iHub)

Enabling Governments and Hospitals to See Huge Savings and Reduce Risk

Elcom International is a long-standing developer of e‑procurement and private marketplace solutions for public-sector organizations, delivering its PECOS procurement management platform with ERP and financial integrations and built‑in audit trails. Faced with vast transactional datasets from large government and hospital clients, Elcom needed a purpose‑built, embedded analytics tool to turn that big data into actionable insight—so customers could cut costs, improve purchasing decisions and detect fraud.

Elcom embedded OpenText Information Hub (iHub) into PECOS to provide interactive dashboards, ad‑hoc reporting and a dedicated reporting database that pulls from ERP, financial systems and external sources. The result is holistic, near‑terabyte scale analysis (e.g., clients with 3M+ POs and ~$15B annual spend), better supplier negotiation and purchasing decisions, enhanced audit trails to reduce fraud and over USD $1 billion in client savings over seven years.
