When Weiser Lock installed a new ERP system and simultaneously moved its production facilities to Mexico, the company's inability to quickly extract valuable management information became even more pressing. That's when Weiser Lock decided to implement a data warehouse and access it with ProClarity. Weiser Lock management is now able to align strategic company goals and monitor them over the course of the year, knowing that the information coming from ProClarity is accurate and timely. "When we implemented [our ERP system] we basically went dark," says David Edwards, application developer for Weiser Lock. "It was extremely painful for our business to get the information we needed. Now that's changed. We're putting out ten times more information. The difference ProClarity has made is amazing. It was like we were living in the Stone Age and now we're in the Information Age." "Weiser Lock's implementation of ProClarity is a great example of the benefits that can be realized from delivering powerful analytics on top of a data warehouse for cross analysis of unified information throughout the enterprise," said Chuck Mitten, commercial sales director for ProClarity Corporation. "ProClarity's best-of-breed analytic application development platform is providing companies around the world with award-winning, customizable solutions to meet the wide and varying needs of their business decision makers, managers and executives."
