BI4.2 Migration Challenges

  • 16 year old BO environment needed to be cleaned up, but how?
  • 112,000 Webi reports taking up over 400 GB of server disk space. Are they all used? What about the instances?
  • 18,000 Deski reports. RCT is not enough. How do you analyze and intelligently decrease this number keeping business happy?
  • 300+ universes. Which ones are no longer used?

 

360 Tools helped us to…

  • Get better and clear picture of our BO environment (out of the box dashboards and reports)
  • Make educated and informed maintenance decisions
  • Reduce total number of objects by 25% (and we are not done yet)
  • Provide a great back up and disaster recovery solution
  • Automate converted report comparison (regression testing) with the 360Bind solution saving at least $200,000 in consulting fees
  • Prepare for 4.2 migration with greatly reduced workload and faster conversion/migration process
  • Preform many pre-migration tasks ourselves, which again saved us time and $$$
