Business Intelligence / Data Warehousing White Papers

United Co-operatives Buys into the Benefits of Business Intelligence

Overview United Co-operatives has implemented a business intelligence data warehouse to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and make better use of company and customer data. The new system was created by Microsoft partner Acuma and is based on Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Windows operating system, Business Objects, and Kalido. The solution enabled the company to close seven data marts, and reduce the number of reports produced from 36 to just one. United Co-operatives can now make better-informed decisions and has already identified 32 business improvement opportunities.
