In detail, a strong resistance will come from some of the operating companies that already have “their own small-scale business intelligence applications in place”. These companies may not see any valid reason or advantage to switch and implement a new software system. Furthermore, another obstacle that SYSCO might confront will be the objection from the existing managers and IT experts averse and incapable of using a new software with different functions. Moreover, the forthcoming implementation time of the BI software proposed by the Assistant Vice President of Technology and Applications Twila Day might raise doubts and concerns among management as well as

The IT staffs were certain that the existing SAP software will provide all necessary computer support. They believed that even if the SAP would not fit their business processes precisely, it may be an investment that provides greater long-term flexibility and better solutions to the company’s problem.

In the "Business Intelligence Software at SYSCO" case, SYSCO plans to use the BI software supplied by Business Objects to improve the ability of manage and analyze the data of whole company including all the operating companies. With the advanced way of data analysis, it’s easier for

The petroleum industry includes the global processes of exploration, extraction, refining, transporting (often oil tankers and pipelines), and marketing petroleum products. The oil is used as feedstock for many chemicals, including drugs, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides and plastics. Industry is generally divided into three main components: upstream, midstream and downstream. Crossing operation usually included in a lower category.

Dashboard is a data visualization tool that displays the current status of metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for an enterprise. Also, dashboard consolidates and arranges numbers, metrics and sometimes performance scorecards on a single screen. They may be tailored for a specific role and display metrics targeted for a single point of view or department. The essential features of a dashboard product include a customizable interface and the ability to pull real-time data from multiple sources. An Executive Dashboard gives a clear picture of the data and the insights visually to the corporate executives.

Organizations collect data. This raw data must be analyzed to tease out useful information. The software used to analyze raw data is known as Business Intelligence (BI). BI is comprised of theories and processes such as data mining, online analytical processing, querying and reporting. BI improves decision making, cuts costs and identifies new business opportunities (Mulcahy, 2007). The web data extraction company, Connotate, uses BI systems, specifically dashboards, to focus on more profitable business, saving them time and money while also boosting customer satisfaction rates (6 Real Life., 2013).

This figure illustrates the future of BI for CTC. Independent data sources have been incorporated into a single BI system, within a global data model. All data will be loaded into corporate EDW via ETL. The EDW will feed the financial data mart for enterprise performance management, so business users will be able to conduct planning and budgeting functions. On the right side of the EDW, BI specialists will assist in organizing data marts into four categories: Supply Chain, Vendor,

Loblaw used to save store and vendor information in different types of Legacy systems, for example, the vendors’ sales data is stored in the system called Bi-query, and the vendor stores payment records can be found in Customer Information Control System (CICS). However, given the size and complexity of Loblaw, it is hard to remain competitive without a system that can integrate information from all business areas and provide real-time information updates of critical information so that an entire enterprise may function as one. Therefore, Loblaw starts to transfer store and vendor data from Legacy systems, into a more efficient and powerful system called SAP.

In the organizational layer, DLL has a global business intelligence and global analytics team. The business intelligence team’s focus is data warehousing, dashboard designing and providing real-time data companywide for all the countries, which can be queried via SQL or Hyperion.

As we discuss the possibility of emerging into business intelligence software we must keep in mind the overall purpose of using any type of software is to reach strategic goals in order to increase market shares. I will discuss how business intelligence software will allow us to meet those strategic goals. We will establish what type of information and analysis capabilities will be available once this business intelligence software is implemented. We will discuss hardware and system software that will be required to run specific business intelligence software. Lastly, I will give a brief synopsis on three vendors (IBM, Microsoft Microsoft and Oracle) that are dominating the business information software

The Pacific Oil Company a well-established oil company with an assorted diversified product line including “Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM)”. (Lewicki, 2010, p. 583) As one of the pioneer producers of VCM, Pacific Oil cornered the market share for contracting, distributing and selling their niche product, VCM worldwide. One of Pacific’s longtime customers was Reliant Corporation. This partnership was more than a decade old and was strong. However, if Pacific Oil decided to further diversify its product line to include Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) a VCM derivative, “it would not want to be in the position of supplying a product competitor with the raw materials to manufacture the product line, unless the formula price was extremely

A management dashboard developed with the help of SAP shows how smoothly a critical process is running at a certain point in time. Information from the dashboard helps Burtons users identify inconsistencies a problems that should be monitored more closely.

The Ukrainian chemical industry includes chemical and petrochemical businesses. Products produced in Ukraine include mineral fertilisers, non-organic acids, such as sulphuric acid, and sodium bicarbonate. The petrochemical industry also manufactures car and motor-cycle tyres, hoses, and consumer goods. While some of these items have applications in CW and CW decontamination, it is extremely unlikely that Ukraine is using them in this context given the absence of several other important components. State-owned enterprises account for less than 20 per cent of chemical industry enterprises but comprise over 30 per cent of the products. The remaining enterprises are owned collectively, with open and close joint-stock companies being the predominant form. Within the structure of the industry, asset- and energy-intensive basic chemistry enterprises are predominant.
