Client background
Client: Multinational automotive corporation based in Europe
Industry: Automotive
Products/Services: Automobiles
Areas of operations: Worldwide
Challenges
The client’s business data was stored in multiple ERP systems, legacy COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) PLM (product lifecycle management) systems and IoT systems, which were spread across different geographies.
The client was not able to integrate data from different source systems to provide real time data to business users. Huge manual efforts were required to get the data. The business teams had to wait for one business day to work on these data and perform reliability analysis or prepare machine fact sheets (codes to know if any machine part is working/alive).
Business users needed consolidated data from various ERP instances to enable supplier and CRM (Customer relationship management) analytics.
Solution
Wipro implemented a data virtualization solution integrating complex legacy COTS PLM systems, ERP Systems, IoT and analytics data sources to enable various supplier and CRM analytics use cases for the client.
Solution highlights:
Business impact
Implementation of the data virtualization solution reduced the data-access time from 24 hours to a minute. The solution further led to these benefits for the client:
This was a large data virtualization implementation on AWS cloud in terms of scale and size. Business users were empowered with real time data from heterogeneous sources and enabled with self-service capabilities, which reduced IT costs significantly.
