A Better Foundation: Construction Company Strengthens Infrastructure: Page 2 of 2

Cashman Equipment, a division of Caterpillar Inc., is making big changes to its business-technology infrastructure and applications during the next year to deliver financial information, work orders and other data
March 22, 2004

Cashman's IT department uses Hyperion software nightly to access data from the company's financial, service-order-tracking, and other applications; place that data into a multidimensional database for analysis; and send the analyzed data to a browser-based reporting system so employees have access to it the following morning. Glassen's goal is to make this data available to the company in real time.

By the end of March, Cashman will upgrade to the latest version of Hyperion's Analyzer software on Windows. In early 2005, it will deploy Web-based interfaces to Hyperion that let users analyze data in a number of ways. By that time, Glassen will also have made a decision between Linux and Windows.
