Balfour Beatty iPaaS Success

Background

Balfour Beatty Construction works across the full-cycle of commercial construction, from initial concept through construction and life cycle analysis, delivering complex projects on time and on budget. When undergoing implementation of its new ERP system, Balfour Beatty Construction found that it needed an integration solution to forge a reliable link between new and existing business systems. Rewriting its original hand-coded custom integration solution to meet new needs simply wasn’t an option because of the required investment of time and money

Challenge

• A custom coded integration was in use and would require a complete rewrite for new ERP system, JD Edwards
• In-house scripts to move data were unmanageable and costly to maintain
• Needed a cost-effective, quickly deployed platform alternative

Solution

Jitterbit allowed Balfour Beatty Construction to seamlessly integrate JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and AutoDesk Constructware. In addition, Jitterbit’s professional integration consulting services provided key members of Balfour Beatty Construction’s business team hands-on design support and advice for applying the existing Jitterbit solution to future integration challenges.

Results

• Eliminated custom code that created data inaccuracies
• Jitterpak templates resulted in rapid deployment time
• Two-way integration of on-premise ERP and Autodesk Cloud
• Automated data validation including reporting and notifications
