changes
- Excellent combination of fixed price and outsourced consultants.
As Belgium’s major mobile communications provider, Belgacom Mobile is a keen user of business
intelligence technology. A couple of years ago, when it decided to replace its existing BI
infrastructure by a new solution consisting of a Teradata data warehouse, Informatica’s ETL tool
and MicroStrategy’s reporting tool, it turned to Arηs Developments to develop both the data inflow
and the reporting functions. “When comparing the various vendors during the RFQ, it was obvious
that, by far, Arηs had the best competencies in house”, says Gert Verbessem, lead manager data
warehousing at Belgacom Mobile. “What’s more, they offered a delivery model that was the perfect
combination of high flexibility and fixed price”.
Since Arηs had been outsourcing consultants to Belgacom Mobile for a number of years, Gert
Verbessem knew that it was a very flexible integrator. “Contrary to other vendors that suggested
offshoring to India to curb the costs, Arηs has its development factory in Luxembourg, so all it
takes is one phone call to have their specialists on site in case any problem arises or we want
something changed. And that sort of loyalty and flexibility is really priceless”, Verbessem
insists.
