NONPROFIT
Direct Relief is a humanitarian aid non-profit organization that helps improve the health and lives of people affected by poverty or emergencies. To accomplish its humanitarian efforts, Direct Relief relies heavily on data, analysis, and reporting. The organization was lacking a data warehouse and a comprehensive data model. This made data sourcing a real challenge. In addition, the data resided in several areas, including SAP data, donor and fundraising records, Excel spreadsheets, and other sources. TimeXtender helped transform their operations. As the organization stated, “We knew we needed a better way to organize and standardize our data. Then, we discovered TimeXtender. TimeXtender’s technology and approach helped us organize and build a better data model that provides quality, validation and transparency.” To discover more about how Discovery Hub helps this leading nonprofit, watch our video case study.
ENTERTAINMENT
Nordisk Film is the longest running, continuous film studio in the world. The organization had been using a data warehouse for its ERP system but as the business expanded, so did its data sources. To enable data-driven decision making and to increase its analytical capabilities, it needed to significantly expand its data warehouse, while also keeping time-to-product at a minimum. By implementing TimeXtender, it was able to take control of data and reporting across its financial spectrum.
PUBLIC SECTOR
As the city of Lansing, Michigan has grown over the years, it started to experience challenges accessing, combining, and leveraging its data about its growing population. At the core of this problem was that its data was stored and spread over a number of siloed data sources. For example, its criminal records resided on its own local records management system, the state management system, Microsoft SQL Servers, a system for tracking jail inmate data, 911 logging system, and more. TimeXtender was called in and implemented to help transform the city’s disparate data system into a single, trusted and complete data management solution.
RETAIL
Pandora is an international jewelry retail shop. The company has massive amounts of internal data and was looking for a technology platform to cohesively manage all its data from numerous and diverse data sources. TimeXtender was implemented to provide stronger management of diverse data sources and to better manage its financial, retail, sales, and inventory information.
BANKING
A very large and well-known North American banking conglomerate needed to better track automating revenue reporting. The organization was hampered with inconsistencies in management reporting on product revenue, department finances, customer information, transaction cash flow. The bank turned to TimeXtender.
MANUFACTURING
When Komatsu Australia wanted to deploy its information data estate onto Microsoft Azure, while supporting future growth from both a source and complexity perspective, it turned to TimeXtender. With data from three business critical systems identified as a “must-have,” with the possibility of additional internal and external data sources being added, and desiring the quickest time-to-value for its business, TimeXtender was selected for the initiative. It was the preferred choice given its comprehensive data management capabilities, ease-of-use, Microsoft aligned-cloud strategy and powerful Dynamics AX adapter. After implementing TimeXtender, Komatsu immediately realized a 49% cost savings and 25-30% performance improvement.
HEALTHCARE
TimeXtender has played a significant role in helping healthcare organizations with their data management challenges as well. In one instance, for a large, well-known healthcare network, TimeXtender transformed its analytics environment and streamlined processes, provided utilization across departments, and strengthened operational effectiveness to treat patients more quickly. Our technology enabled the hospital’s IT to cleanse, consolidate and model disparate data more efficiently. TimeXtender also provided a solid foundation for HIPAA compliance.
