Case Study: Toyota Motor Sales enables enterprise-wide business intelligence with Progress DataDirect for ODBC

Toyota saves $100K in 24 hours with Progress Software

Toyota Motor Sales faced the challenge of simplifying the deployment of Hyperion business intelligence applications to enable managers to analyze data from disparate enterprise systems. They needed a reliable way to connect to various database platforms, including Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2, without complex technical solutions.

Progress Software provided the solution through its DataDirect for ODBC drivers, which were embedded with Hyperion's suite. This gave Toyota out-of-the-box connectivity across their environments. The result was rapid deployment of analytical applications and significant cost savings, including one instance where the business reallocated roughly $100,000 in anticipated project funds after connectivity was established in a single meeting. Progress Software's technology allowed Toyota's IT staff to focus on building critical applications rather than solving connectivity issues.
