Industry: Manufacturing

Challenges

The manufacturer’s existing systems couldn’t produce brief reports because of extensive dependency on third-party systems to get access to data. The absence of a centralized data warehouse played a significant role in keeping business leaders from making data-driven decisions. Also, as the data was being collected from several third-party applications other concerns such as data security, integrity, consistency and confidentiality started surfacing as well. The dependency on third-party systems for data resulted in the requirement of manual intervention increasing the associated costs, efforts and possibilities of errors.

Solution

We implemented Oracle Analytics Cloud which helped the manufacturer manage the entire data analytics process from a single platform. We created an environment to enable them to conclude data ingestion, modeling, preparation, enrichment, visualization and collaboration processes whilst adhering to their industry regulations and compliance requirements. Oracle Autonomous Datawarehouse enabled the employees to rapidly and easily analyze data irrespective of its size and type. With Oracle Application Express now included in their IT ecosystem, the workforce is able to develop critical and reliable applications in accordance to the existing workflows and processes. 

Outcomes

The solution is powered by a leading technology solution provider - Oracle Cloud Applications and hence there are regular updates and patches which keep the data theft concerns at bay. Also, the availability of robust security controls allows the company to define user access rights and roles and add an extra layer to data security. The data is refreshed automatically at the given time enabling the resources to get access to the updated information to craft correct strategies. The availability of intuitive reports and customized dashboard allowed their workforce to have comprehensive insights into every operation and process. The prebuilt metrics and KPIs enabled the business to closely track their employees’ performance and suggest a scope of improvement if required. As the data is now fetched from a centralized warehouse the support and maintenance costs for third-party applications are eliminated and the data processing time is saved leading to quick decisions and quality outcomes.
