The Challenge
A Fortune 5 company was grappling with the challenge of managing and analyzing data from multiple systems across the organization. The company was heavily reliant on static, homegrown reports that took hours to run, often forcing users to run these reports overnight or during weekends to avoid slowing down critical applications. The process of building new reports using the company’s legacy reporting tools, including SAP Business Objects and Informatica, was time-consuming, taking between 8-12 weeks. These tools only delivered static, graphical reports at specific times to specific people and required considerable maintenance and special skill sets. Furthermore, they did not provide access to queries, drill down or data filtering capabilities for non-technical users.
About The Customer
The customer is a Fortune 5 company operating in the technology industry. With over 10,001 employees, the company has a vast and complex data infrastructure spread across various systems. The company's finance department was particularly affected by the challenges of managing and analyzing this data. They were reliant on legacy reporting tools like SAP Business Objects and Informatica, which were not only time-consuming but also lacked the flexibility and accessibility needed for efficient data management and analysis.
The Solution
The company adopted Incorta, an innovative solution that integrated with the company’s MongoDB database and existing applications within days. This made it easy to add new data sources and update schemas as needed. Incorta's granular security allowed the company to control who could see sensitive data, with support for single sign-on (SSO) and data encryption both at rest and in transit. Users could filter data on any dimension and easily share reports on mobile devices. Incorta significantly reduced the development and testing time for new reports, drove widespread adoption, and sparked richer conversations around business data all the way up to senior management.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
