Case Study: Howdens Joinery Group streamlines SAP BusinessObjects migration and upgrades with Wiiisdom 360Suite

How Howdens Joinery Group Is Implementing 360suite For Their Sap Businessobjects Architecture Projects

Howdens Joinery Group, the UK’s leading kitchen supplier to trade customers, needed to manage a very large SAP BusinessObjects environment while completing major architecture projects, including an upgrade from BI 4.1 to 4.2 and a migration from BW to HANA. The company also had to reduce reporting risk, clean up unused content, and address security and GDPR-related requirements. Wiiisdom provided 360Suite products including 360Bind, 360Plus, 360Eyes, 360View, and 360Univ to support these initiatives.

With Wiiisdom’s 360Suite, Howdens automated regression testing for more than 800 reports, backed up content for rapid recovery, reviewed security access, and identified unused content for archiving. The upgrade effort cut reporting failures from 100 to nearly zero and reduced manual testing and rework significantly, saving substantial time and cost. Wiiisdom also helped Howdens prepare for the HANA migration by cleansing and standardizing universes and automating ongoing administration tasks, improving efficiency and platform integrity.
