Full Story

OMRON is a global leader in automation, electronics, packaging, life sciences, and more. Their mission is to improve lives and contribute to a better society through innovation driven by social needs, challenging oneself, and respect for all. They place great importance on pioneering inspired solutions for the future, pursuing new challenges with passion and courage, and acting with integrity while encouraging the potential of all team members.

Analytics is a driving force for OMRON to make better business decisions in core business functions such as marketing, sales, and financial standing. However, due to challenging internal turnover and domain expertise leaving the company, they needed help. To help close the knowledge and bandwidth gap, they turned to PMsquare. PMsquare’s expert resources were able to onboard quickly, bringing deep technical knowledge in addition to active project delivery and agile project methodology. They were able to quickly assess the current state and condition, meet the immediate needs, and help establish processes by which OMRON could better manage workflows and needs going forward.

Throughout the engagement, PMsquare worked closely with OMRON to manage their reporting and financial planning solutions and offer additional reporting and enhancements to each solution. They helped to organize and prioritize requests for the Cognos and ETL teams while providing administration and report development guidance. To better understand the timing of requests, PMsquare tied Cognos deployments to MotioCI and upgraded their Cognos environment. PMsquare also introduced several improvements to the request flow helping OMRON to better organize the types of changes.

OMRON’s current BI Analytics Manager, Ram Rommohan, reported that the members of the IT team all have great feedback regarding their work with PMsquare. “We loved the task board that PMsquare had built. It was easy to use and it provided a multitude of useful metrics,” Rommohan said. When asked for feedback to share with others considering working with PMsquare, Rommohan added, “PMsquare has always been great in their responses. They always got the answers for us, whether they knew it initially or needed to search out an answer. They have a commanding authority.”

Overall, OMRON and PMsquare’s collaboration proved highly effective in responding swiftly to the unplanned internal knowledge and bandwidth challenges, improving report development quality and workflow to achieve organizational goals. Their joint success story serves as an excellent example of the power of teamwork and expertise in delivering results for a global leader in automation and electronics.
