The challenge: With the rapid growth of its business, it was becoming increasingly difficult to analyse important business information from multiple sources.
The management of SABMiller Africa & Asia decided to look for a business intelligence solution that would solve the problem. SAB-MAA was looking for an intuitive and easy-to-use solution, one that would provide managers with better access to their data than its existing platform.
The solution: ProClarity, an information analytical platform that leverages the Microsoft SQL Server platform. This provided SAB-MAA managers with a new way of accessing their data in a format that also allowed them to look at trends and performance analysis simultaneously.
Benefit: The Business Intelligence Centre (BIC) has become the point of co-ordinating the capture, maintenance and distribution of data. It has eliminated the duplication of work and has ensured a high level of information integrity.
The new BIC turns the data that managers receive into easily accessible and lucid information. It allows each manager to ask their own questions as well as look for market drivers in their respective lines of business. Its flexibility has ensured that it meets the varying requirements of the different business managers.
