Information Builders’ ability to work with SAP has won
it a contract to provide business intelligence tools to chemical
and food additive company Veliscol Chemical.
Veliscol’s need for a reporting tool that could work with its
SAP R/3 ERP software led it to WebFocus. Trials proved this was the
only tool that didn’t have a problem with obtaining field
descriptions from the SAP tables and using SAP security rules.
“We believe WebFocus will be as pervasive as the SAP software
itself, as we enhance reporting and information management
activities throughout the enterprise,” says Lee Goodrich, senior
business systems analyst at Veliscol.
Veliscol was forced to look for a new solution after its
previous tool’s lack of drill-down capabilities and rigid rules
were stopping users finding the information they needed.
WebFocus’s flexible licensing arrangements also make it easier
for the company to expand usage of the software to key groups of
users.
