Bank of Ireland standardises business intelligence

Business Objects selected to improve analysis of information

Bank of Ireland wants to react quicker to market changes

Bank of Ireland has signed a deal with supplier Business Objects to implement business intelligence tools across the company.

The bank hopes to respond more quickly to market changes by using the new system to analyse information more easily and distribute that data throughout the firm.

The BI system will interface with Bank of Ireland's existing SAP application.

"As our bank continues to grow, we need complete visibility into our business performance," said Vincent Lattimore, manager of IT procurement services.

"We needed to centralise all information related to operation and give our management a 360-degree view across our distributed business units."
