Global Communications Company – Intelsat

Company Profile:  As a global communications leader and pioneer in satellite technology, Intelsat helps service providers, broadcasters, and governments deliver information and entertainment anywhere in the world.  CIO Magazine awarded Intelsat the “Agile 100” award for the company’s use of innovative technology to quickly and effectively transform itself from a non-profit government co-op into a private company.  Intelsat partnered with Axis Group to produce this award-winning BI solution.

Project:  At the outset of this project, Intelsat was reshaping its operations and moving into new markets, but its systems were highly fragmented with no simple way to consolidate information.  Concerned about the long time frames and high costs that might be incurred with a larger consulting firm, Intelsat turned to Axis Group.  Axis was able to build a Proof of Concept for a data warehouse in 18 days.  Management then decided to award Axis the complete Business Intelligence project.  The objective was to provide accelerated enterprise reporting and improve understanding of customers, capacity, revenue, and profitability.

Technology:  Kalido, Business Objects, Actuate, Microsoft.
