Challenge:
Supporting approximately 5 000 producing dealers nationwide, AmeriCredit has created a data warehouse of critical business information relating to credit, payments, applications, and collections. The data warehouse provides a 'single source of truth' for credit information, which is critical for business efficiency and compliance regulation.

Combining CA ERwin's data modelling, model management, and reporting capabilities, AmeriCredit was able to create a single source of record for critical business definitions and share standardised metadata with both business and technical users.

Result:
Having a single source of record increased data quality, reduced development time, and helped provide efficient knowledge transfer for new employees joining the team.
