Cloud BI and Analytics in Action
Axicom – Australia’s leading provider of independently owned wireless infrastructure has a cohesive software environment that integrates data from traditional and cloud systems, and makes it available through reporting, analytics, and data visualization. This boosts efficiency by allowing business users to easily combine asset, expense, and revenue data from on-premises and cloud-based business applications for delivery through cross-platform portals, dashboards, and reports.
Chrome River – Users of this company’s cloud-based expense reporting and supplier invoice processing software are empowered with in-depth analytical capabilities that generate user-guided reports, including complex reports containing highly sophisticated charts and graphs. These cloud BI and analytics capabilities improve visibility into spending patterns by office, department, practice group, user, client, and other variables. Clients now have greater control over their expenses than ever before.
Curtiss-Wright/Scientech – This provider of products and services for the global nuclear power industry embedded analytics apps, dashboards, and guided self-service reports into a cloud-based, customer-facing analytics portal that enables clients to visualize regulatory data. Because the environment runs in the cloud, users have functionality on demand – when they need it – to easily detect exceptions, patterns, and trends. This ensures safe operations and improves plant performance worldwide.
Dealertrack – WebFOCUS dashboards, parameterized reports, and custom report development tools were embedded within the company’s cloud-based dealer management system, allowing customers to visualize business data and create custom reports for parts inventory, customers, service, vehicle histories, and accounting – all in the cloud. The company determined that the WebFOCUS architecture is ideal for SaaS and cloud deployments, since it is based on a highly scalable reporting server that is accessible from any web browser, with no special software required at the dealerships. Clients now have better reporting capabilities, improving the way they manage their retail businesses, from selling vehicles to handling inventory to producing financial statements.
Disc Brakes Australia – WebFOCUS in the cloud is transforming sales processes for this producer of aftermarket and original equipment disc pads and brake rotors. It recently replaced its manual, old-fashioned order entry processes with a cloud-based e-commerce portal called DBA Connect, which enables customers to place orders any time during their workday or after hours. This is important for overseas clients, who operate in different time zones than DBA’s call center. Users can also report on sales activity, view account balances, track previous orders, and more. The application also increases efficiency, boosts order-handling capacity, and reduces related costs.
IQVIA – A cloud-based BI environment known as MiPortal simplifies access to business analytics, forecasting capabilities, and real-time reports for this consulting company that specializes in sales and marketing effectiveness and performance management. Life sciences companies use MiPortal to formulate salesforce strategies, identify commercial risks and opportunities, and increase the quality and velocity of sales and marketing decision-making.

Paradies Lagardère – An enterprise BI platform running in the cloud, complete with dashboards, scorecards, and geographical representations of data, streamlines business operations for this airport concessionaire with 550 stores across the U.S. and Canada. The company can monitor progress and plan for the future, using timely insight into corporate performance. Managers and other non-technical users can create more accurate forecasts, and maximize the effectiveness of promotional and merchandising strategies.
Paycor – This leading provider of cloud HR and payroll services embedded InfoApps™ directly into its cloud-based product suite. This gives clients a more comprehensive view of their HR operations by allowing them to tap into data in HR, payroll, and timekeeping systems for insight into total compensation, labor distribution, general ledger issues, and employee overtime. This new functionality has increased customer acquisition and retention, and differentiated Paycor in its market.
Plex Systems – When creating reports using SQL programming proved to be too cumbersome for customers, the company embedded WebFOCUS InfoAssist into its cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) application for manufacturing. InfoAssist allows users to drag-and-drop data elements into custom, interactive reports, charts, graphs, and dashboards. Customers now have a faster, better way to analyze and visualize their cloud ERP data.
Wings Travel Management – Cloud-based analytics empower this company’s consultants and clients to interact with and visualize travel data. Consultants can make travel arrangements for their clients, while clients can analyze and improve their own travel programs. User-friendly graphs, charts, and drill-downs simplify complex analyses, such as highlighting traveler behavior that could affect cost and safety, or verifying compliance with corporate travel policies.
