Case Study: Toyota Motor Sales achieves $100,000 in savings with Progress Software DataDirect Connect for ODBC

Toyota - Customer Case Study

Toyota Motor Sales, part of Toyota, needed a better way to support business intelligence across its large and complex data environment. As it deployed Hyperion 8 reporting tools, the team wanted reliable access to data stored across SQL Server, DB2, and Oracle systems without getting bogged down in connectivity issues; it used Progress Software’s DataDirect Connect for ODBC.

Progress Software’s DataDirect Connect for ODBC enabled seamless access to Toyota’s distributed databases from Solaris and HP-UX environments, simplifying deployment of analytics for more managers. The impact was immediate: Toyota said it created connectivity during a meeting and freed up about $100,000 that had been set aside for a technical project, while also improving performance, flexibility, and the ability to expand analytics to dealerships.
