Productivity Gains Between Business Units & it for Global Electronics & Supply Distributor

Global Electronics & Supply Distributor, a $279 billion global company serving customers in more than 115 countries, was facing growing business demands, data-merge performance issues, and increasing complexity in getting the right data at the right time. The company needed a “one version of the truth” for data, wanted to protect its existing SAP Business Warehouse investment, and had to scale for 50% data growth and thousands of users. Paradigm Technology helped address these challenges with real-time analytics and data management capabilities.

Paradigm Technology implemented SAP HANA as a real-time analytics database engine with Business Warehouse enabled on IBM System x3950 servers running SUSE Linux, along with IBM GPFS, IBM Lab Services, and IBM Managed Services. The solution delivered a 30% productivity gain between business units and IT, cut complex query times by 15x, reduced batch processing by 6x, and increased the company-wide quote-to-purchase ratio by 5%.
