Group BI with a small team
The German group WIKA is the world leader in pressure, temperature and level measurement technology with more than 40 subsidiaries worldwide. Only three employees are responsible for the entire, worldwide group BI system in order to provide the colleagues at the locations with a reporting and analysis tool for almost all business areas.
Data from Microsoft Dynamics AX and occasionally from other ERP systems are processed. These are made available to the users via Microsoft SQL Server / DWH, in up to 50 cubes per branch for self-service evaluation and in the form of Halo Prism reports. WIKA uses the data integration tool HALO Source(https://halosource.eu) for the subsidiaries. This enables a fast standardized rollout as well as a fast implementation to meet local needs and wishes.
Halo Source helps with the implementation
Halo Source has made the implementation and especially the maintenance much easier.
Andreas Pesak, BI expert from WIKA
"Data integration and the operation of BI can be simple and effective" is the conviction of Andreas Schindler, managing director of Schindler IT Solutions GmbH and inventor of Halo Source. Halo Source effectively helps to find the relevant data and build coordinated, end-user-ready data warehouses from it. Users can query these themselves. This ensures the correctness and integrity of the data. Easy maintainability is essential for the success of BI projects. This is where Halo Source helps to detect changes in the source system and through its effective implementation of "agile BI".
Andreas Schindler continues:
"We started the development of Halo Source in 2004. Our first customers were in New Zealand and Australia so problems due to the time difference were always acute at night. This has taught us to write extremely robust and easy to maintain software. That's what made Halo Source so stable and effective.
We congratulate the Wika team on their efficient work and thank you for your confidence in our products.
