Testimonials

We are using BNW’s PowerConnect© to extract iPhone 10 sales data from our SAP ECC system and correlated the sales information with device activation data from our mobile towers in real-time. The resulting insights helped us to gain a better understanding of our customer buying behaviours.

Having started only a few weeks earlier, we got the PowerConnect solution ready for the major sales campaign thanks to rapid deployment option and pre-delivered content of PowerConnect

US Telecommunications Provider

Satisfying security & compliance requirements is critical to our organisation. PowerConnect helps us achieve this goal. For example, our Security & Compliance teams receive automated alerts from PowerConnect if the same user ID is used across geographically dispersed locations within a defined timeframe.

If the same user ID logs on to our SAP business systems in London and New York within say 2 hours, we need to investigate.

Utility Provider

PowerConnect for Splunk gives us greater insight into the internal operation of SAP both forensically and in real-time. We can see live performance metrics and also a high level of granularity in historic detail spanning months or years on demand.
