HP wins Woolworths contract with BI solution

Business IT - Technology

Woolworths in Australia is looking to increase operational efficiencies and improve insight into store operations with its selection of HP to provide an enterprise data warehousing platform and consulting services.

Geoff Marler, group development manager at the Woolworths group, said today the retailer had chosen the HP Neoview enterprise data warehousing platform, along with HP consulting services, to better capture information from disparate sources and load it into a central repository, and to provide the company with a single view of critical business information.

Marler says the first implementation phase of HP Neoview for information collection and operational reporting in its BIG W stores has been completed.

According to Marler, Woolworths will use HP Neoview to handle extremely high data volumes and complex mixed workloads, to “deliver users the right information at the right time,” and, he added,  HP’s strong global delivery capabilities in business intelligence and retail provided it with a “high-quality, cost-competitive solution.”

“At Woolworths, enhancing operational efficiency is essential in today’s competitive market, and improving our insights into store operations is necessary to take our customer service to the next level.”

HP VP BI solutions for Asia Pacific & Japan, Michelle Dorn, says Woolworths is using the expertise of HP’s business intelligence services focused on technical solutions to deliver better access to the information needed, and, she maintains, “it will “gain timely insight for more actionable intelligence and day-to-day decision making with HP Neoview.”

“We are helping Woolworths create a consistent view of business data that will enable them to realise the full potential of their business intelligence investment.”
