Business Intelligence Tool Helps Amway Tackle Complex Impact Analysis & Data
Lineage Issues
Amway saves time and money with BICG Impact.
Eagan, MN, August 27, 2009 -- Amway set out on a mission to understand their Oracle
Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) environment better.
Their analysts
are frequently required to validate reports, analyze the impact of changes across
the whole BI environment, and troubleshoot issues related to OBIEE.
These tasks can
be time consuming in their current environment, which results in slower projects,
slower issue resolution, and higher administrative costs.
Rather than try to build
this complex functionality themselves, they needed to find an offering which
enabled access to all of the rich information stored in various metadata
repositories across their BI environment.
After much web searching, research and evaluation, Amway identified the optimal
solution to be BICG Impact, a service offering from BI Consulting Group which
enables reporting against the OBIEE repository, the OBIEE catalog, the Informatica
repository, and the DAC repository.
Access to this information enables complete
data lineage to the source system, impact analysis across the whole BI environment,
dynamic documentation abilities, enhanced usage tracking, and more.
"BICG Impact enables easy analysis of the relationships between presentation
elements in OBIEE (dashboard, reports), Business Models, and ETL Mappings,"
explains Prince Parocaran, BI Supervisor at Amway.
"The documentation is presented
using OBIEE so that any user with access has full analysis capabilities of the
system.
"
BICG Impact is extremely easy to install and customize.
In under a week, Amway was
up and running with the core BICG Impact product.
Some additional customizations
were provided to handle the full extent of their catalog deployments.
After seeing
the value of BICG Impact, Amway purchased a full Enterprise license so they could
run BICG Impact on all of their OBIEE instances throughout the company.
