挑战
The Council of Europe, an organization that represents Greater Europe and manages a total budget of over 260 million euros annually, was facing challenges with its IT infrastructure. The Council was generating and managing a lot of information that could not be rationalized quickly enough to be used to aid business decisions effectively. The Council decided to look more closely at its IT infrastructure as well as the way in which it is managed and used by employees with a view to rationalizing and improving it. A large scale upgrade of its financial information system ensued. An RFI was launched at this time to find a BI vendor that provided an end to end solution that was easy to use on all levels of the organization and was able to be implemented within the tight deadlines imposed by the wider financial information system’s upgrade that was underway at the time.
关于客户
The Council of Europe, founded in 1949, is the continent’s oldest political organization. It groups together 46 countries. Since November 1990, the accession of 21 countries of central and eastern Europe has given the Council of Europe a genuine pan-European dimension, so that it is now the organization that represents Greater Europe. The Council of Europe manages a total budget of over 260 million euros annually (based on 2006 figures).
解决方案
The Council of Europe chose WebFOCUS from Information Builders to support its budget management requirements. Over 200 employees now have access to the solution and continue to consecrate more time to value-added activities as WebFOCUS automates and rationalizes the reporting process. The RFI was launched in March 2005, the Information Builders WebFOCUS solution was purchased in July 2005 and the solution went live in October 2005, on schedule. The project was piloted entirely in-house at the Council of Europe which in itself is a testament to the solution’s adaptability and ease of implementation. As part of the project, Information Builders worked hand in hand with the Council of Europe to supply across-the-board training and support for employees involved in the development and use of WebFOCUS.

Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

Developing Smart Tools for the Airbus Factory
Manufacturing and assembly of aircraft, which involves tens of thousands of steps that must be followed by the operators, and a single mistake in the process could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix, makes the room for error very small.
