挑战
Ramkrishna Forgings Limited (RKFL), a leading manufacturer and supplier of open and closed die forgings, was facing challenges in improving the performance and efficiency of large-scale data analysis and integrating data from multiple sources effectively. The company had implemented SAP in 2010 to enhance operational philosophy. However, after two years of using the SAP infrastructure, the IT team at RKFL felt that the tools reporting and analytics lacked flexibility and performance to deal with large data volumes from SAP and other non-SAP data sources.

The organization wanted a solution that would be intuitive and simple to use, integrate with the existing SAP applications, deliver deep data analysis capabilities in real-time, and could be accessed anytime using popular mobile devices.
