Challenge	In the semiconductor industry, constant margin improvement is a common challenge, and no different for NXP Semiconductors. They have a complex sales model involving direct sales to customers and through distributor channels. Managing distributor incentives and ensuring no margin leakage across different regions was a significant challenge. The traditional, static BI environment was slow and highly dependent on IT, making it difficult to add new data columns or graphs to reports. Analysts spent more time pulling data from various sources rather than analyzing it, leading to delays in identifying and acting on outliers. Read More

Solution	NXP Semiconductors decided to implement TIBCO Spotfire® to address their challenges. The decision was driven by the need for real-time results and better control over their complex sales model data. Spotfire's BI self-service model allowed NXP to mashup all sales data easily, enabling quick identification of sales data outliers and better management of distributor incentives. The implementation of Spotfire also led to a significant increase in analyst productivity, as they could now spend more time on data analysis rather than data collection. Additionally, NXP experienced improved application performance, as data was readily available without slowing down transactional data systems. Read More Log in to view content
