What KBR needed to solve
KBR is one of the largest project implementation companies in North America, with thousands of employees across multiple regions for whom timely access to project, financial, and operational data was critical. Reporting was fragmented and slow.
Fragmented reporting
Multiple reporting tools and data silos across finance, project execution, and resource planning.
Slow data access
Users relied on manual extracts or performance-heavy reports directly from D365, causing delays.
Scalability issues
With thousands of report consumers, the existing infrastructure could not meet performance or concurrency demands.
Limited self-service
Business users could not explore data beyond predefined reports.
