NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 09/24/12 -- Information Builders, a leader in business intelligence (BI) and analytics, information integrity, and integration solutions, today announced that Haulotte Group, a European provider of aerial lifts, has selected the company's iWay Software to improve the flow of information, enable a more agile IT environment, and control operational costs.

Haulotte Group manufactures personal lifting equipment consisting of 60 models for numerous industries, including construction, utilities, and shipping. The company had a highly heterogeneous infrastructure consisting of numerous applications that were not integrated to communicate effectively. As a result, the system generated numerous errors that had to be corrected manually, impacting productivity and delaying employee access to real-time data.

To address this, Haulotte Group selected Information Builders' iWay solutions to automate the flow of information from its internal systems. With iWay, employees can monitor data throughout the entire lifecycle of a transaction and run reports for deeper analysis on key points of the supply chain. The solution optimizes the exchange of information and ensures that critical business processes related to equipment orders run smoothly. In addition to fostering a more integrated IT environment, Haulotte Group used iWay to create a customer portal dedicated to spare parts orders, which has become a critical sales channel representing 35 percent of the company's European sales in 2011.

"In our search for a technology partner, iWay stood out for numerous reasons, including the fact that the technology is used by numerous other companies in France, which is a guarantee of the quality of its solutions," said Marc Arione, director of Information Systems at Haulotte Group. "iWay not only allows Haulotte Group to effectively connect our many business systems, but also to standardize our applications so we're better prepared for future business changes. With these features, we can reduce our operational costs and optimize our IT budget through significant cost savings."

"The ability to ensure effective communication is of tantamount importance to any organization," said Gregory Dorman, vice president of iWay Software. "Particularly for companies like Haulotte Group, with numerous disparate data systems and applications, it's critical that processes be automated so organizations can focus more time on growing the business and less on manual data manipulation. We're thrilled to be a part of the success Haulotte Group has realized to date and look forward to continuing our work with them in the future."
