According to Greg Swimer, Vice President for Business Intelligence at Unilever, information management was to play a crucial role in achieving this goal. To help its employees make better decisions, the company sought to embed data into its business processes and make effective use of data visualization and analytics.\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_71 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/how-data-visualization-and-effective-information-management-help-unilever-employees-make-better-decisions\/#The_Global_Enterprise_Data_Warehouse\" title=\"The Global Enterprise Data Warehouse\">The Global Enterprise Data Warehouse<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/how-data-visualization-and-effective-information-management-help-unilever-employees-make-better-decisions\/#How_data_visualization_helps_Unilever_employees_make_better_decisions\" title=\"How data visualization helps Unilever employees make better decisions?\">How data visualization helps Unilever employees make better decisions?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/how-data-visualization-and-effective-information-management-help-unilever-employees-make-better-decisions\/#The_results_so_far\" title=\"The results so far\">The results so far<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/how-data-visualization-and-effective-information-management-help-unilever-employees-make-better-decisions\/#The_way_forward\" title=\"The way forward\">The way forward<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/how-data-visualization-and-effective-information-management-help-unilever-employees-make-better-decisions\/#If_you_liked_reading_this_you_may_also_like\" title=\"If you liked reading this, you may also like:\">If you liked reading this, you may also like:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/how-data-visualization-and-effective-information-management-help-unilever-employees-make-better-decisions\/#References\" title=\"References\">References<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Global_Enterprise_Data_Warehouse\"><\/span>The Global Enterprise Data Warehouse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nIn Forrester\u2019s <i>European Business Technology Forum<\/i> held in London in June 2013, Swimer spoke about what went inside building this information management system. They wanted to build an analytics powerhouse to give their 20,000 internal users insight to drive decision- making, unleashing the power of big data and injecting it into their business processes. The base of this powerhouse was a global enterprise data warehouse (EDW). Earlier data at Unilever existed in silos and it was difficult to combine the data. The EDW was to replace around 40 departmental data warehouses and data marts spread across 5,000 servers around the world. Moving to an EDW in one project required a careful balance of business priorities and technical requirements.\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gallery\/blog\/2014\/08\/Unilever-Supply-Chain.png\" alt=\"Unilever Supply Chain\" width=\"774\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Unilever-Supply-Chain.png 860w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Unilever-Supply-Chain-150x68.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/>\r\n\r\nOn top of the EDW, Unilever built two further layers. The first is a document repository to store standard company reports. The second layer was a global business intelligence suit supporting multiple applications including sales reporting, sales analytics, supply chain analytics and procurement analytics.\u00a0This business intelligence layer used data visualization extensively to allow employees to find the answers to their questions as they arise.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_data_visualization_helps_Unilever_employees_make_better_decisions\"><\/span>How data visualization helps Unilever employees make better decisions?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nEarlier complex mathematical modeling was involved to process data and find relevant patterns in them. With data visualization, people all around the company could become more analytically minded without needing expert statistical skills.\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gallery\/blog\/2014\/08\/Unilever-Data-Visualization.png\" alt=\"Unilever Data Visualization\" width=\"791\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Unilever-Data-Visualization.png 1099w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Unilever-Data-Visualization-150x101.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/>Data visualization has enabled global managers at Unilever to drill down into the level of detail they need to for effective decision-making.\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/gallery\/blog\/2014\/08\/Unilever-Data-Visualization-2.png\" alt=\"Unilever Data Visualization 2\" width=\"1046\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Unilever-Data-Visualization-2.png 1307w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Unilever-Data-Visualization-2-150x85.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1046px) 100vw, 1046px\" \/>\r\n\r\nManagers use data visualizations to group products or competitors as they see fit, understand the momentum in the business in terms of its tiny constituent parts and get a better understanding into consumer behavior and buying trends.\u00a0It has bridged the gap between the global perspective and the local perspective by helping connect the local, small, consumer-based trend to a global sort of momentum-defining trend for the business.\r\n\r\nData visualization has helped Unilever employees comprehend vast amounts of information that would have been otherwise unmanageable if it were in an Excel sheet.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_results_so_far\"><\/span>The results so far<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nAccording to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/feature\/Unilever-enterprise-data-warehouse-locked-to-business-programmes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ComputerWeekly<\/a> case study, the project was launched in the third quarter of 2011 and has gone live in 45 operating units, with 6,000 commonly used reports. Eighty-five per cent of business users now say they have improved access to reporting and information. Meanwhile, the analytics side of the EDW is also claiming successes.\u00a0Ten of the planned 17 capabilities are now live, and it is on track to finish on time during 2014. One capability, which harvests retail point of sale data, has lowered costs and also improved business performance. Their customer teams are coming back and saying that with the insight they have got through these tools they have been able to drive revenue with retailers.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_way_forward\"><\/span>The way forward<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nAs Swimer puts it in this <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.forrester.com\/kyle_mcnabb\/13-06-05-qa_with_greg_swimer_vp_it_business_intelligence_unilever\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interview<\/a> \u201c<i>Striving for better information is a journey in itself rather than a specific destination.
