Bluefin Solutions partners with Noble Corp. to drive digital transformation

Bluefin Solutions has announced that it has helped Noble Corp. to drive better data-driven decision-making across its business. SAP BW/4HANA is SAP’s next-generation data warehouse application for running a real-time digital enterprise. Bluefin has worked with Amazon Web Services to quickly roll out the proof-of-concept to deliver digital agility and flexibility.

Noble Corp. found that business users wanted faster access to data and improved reporting capabilities to drive smarter business decisions, which its existing database platform was not able to deliver. Noble Corp. partnered with Bluefin Solutions to support them in their digital transformation journey. After gaining deep understanding of Noble Corp.’s reporting challenges, Bluefin and AWS completed a joint proof-of-concept illustrating the potential of SAP BW/4HANA. They ultimately delivered a 2TB HANA instance in under an hour, allowing the project to kick off without having to wait for hardware to be shipped and racked.

In addition to shrinking its database size from 700GB to 100GB and speeding up backups, Noble Corp. has achieved the following results:

· Employees spend less time running reports and more time on other revenue-generating tasks

· Data modelling can be undertaken without disrupting business as usual

· End-users can easily access real-time data without assistance from the IT department

· Users can run increasingly complex reports and gain deeper insight into the business

“There was an urgent need to take stock of where we are, where we want to be and what we need to do to clean the house,” Mary McLemore, Business Analytics Manager, Noble Corp. said. “Bluefin has helped us to understand this and we are now laying the foundations on which to build and innovate.”

“Enterprises today need to ensure seamless, real-time access to insightful data. As an enterprise data warehouse tailored for the cloud, SAP BW/4HANA allows businesses to accelerate digital transformation and make themselves agile,” said John Appleby, Global Head of Sales at Bluefin. “Noble Corp. is a great example of a company leveraging the cloud to become a data-driven organization. Bluefin has deep and broad experience to help companies realize the potential of the cloud and we were excited by the immediate results this proof-of-concept achieved for Noble Corp.”

Bluefin will demonstrate SAP BW/4HANA cloud deployments at SAPPHIRE NOW and ASUG Annual Conference being held May 16–18 in Orlando, FL.
