TARGIT Decision Suite 2025, InMemory Engine, Business Intelligence Accelerator (BIA) for D365 Finance & Operations (Azure infrastructure, implemented with b-imtec)
As part of the ERP changeover to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Beckhoff was looking for a BI solution that would make data usable globally - fast, reliable and also suitable for large amounts of data.
The solution had to enable self-service BI, integrate legacy data from over 20 years and be flexibly adaptable to different country requirements - including areas such as shipping and production that lie outside of classic ERP logic.
Beckhoff opted for a TARGIT InMemory solution with BIA for D365 - set up in a high-performance Azure environment.
New countries have been rolled out annually since 2019 (including the USA, China and South Korea), including legacy data migration. Specialist areas such as purchasing, warehouse, production and shipping have been connected, with dashboards, automated reports and role-based views.
Power users work with guided analytics and management receives daily KPIs. The solution is multi-client capable, flexibly scalable and supports embedded reporting directly in D365 in the future.
„Experience, reliability and in-depth BI expertise that goes far beyond mere technical implementation - that's what convinced us at b-imtec. Together, we have created a powerful and future-proof BI solution with TARGIT that fulfils our international requirements. We greatly appreciate b-imtec's commitment and dedication and look forward to continuing our collaboration.“
