Case Study: ARC Integrated Retail Business Intelligence Suite - The "Silver Bullet" For Haggen Supermarkets' BI

Haggen Inc., a rapidly growing US food and grocery retailer based in Bellingham, WA recently discovered that a lack of a single, integrated data warehouse, the right BI toolsets, and retail analytics were missing elements in their BI strategy. After a few rounds of evaluation, Haggen realized that the available generic BI options were prohibitive in cost and time, when it came to customizing those platforms to meet their requirements. The development lifecycle of a generic BI implementation is usually a prolonged, intensive effort and takes typically anywhere between 12-18 months. In Haggen's competitive business environment, the availability/usability timeframe, and scalability for BI was a critical factor. Submitted by Manthan Systems
