Business Analytics project helps ASM assure reliability and quality

Logicalis UK has successfully completed an expansive business analytics implementation with ASM Assembly Systems, Printing Solutions Division (“ASM”) using the latest software from the IBM Cognos suite. ASM specialises in the equipment and processes to enable fast, high quality production of advanced electronics, semiconductors and fuel cells for sectors including automotive, telecoms and energy generation.  

Achieving the objective of converting large quantities of its data into valuable, actionable knowledge, ASM has saved hundreds of man-hours and equipped a large group of ‘super-users’ to execute decisions that realise efficiencies in existing processes, improving customer relations and proactively addressing issues and opportunities with this project.


“ASM is relied upon around the world for its accuracy, quality and innovation, so having access to the best possible business intelligence is enormously valuable,” said Ian Bleazard, CIO at ASM. “We’ve been able to enjoy world-class support from Logicalis on this project, and believe we have a great platform for future development with the IBM Cognos suite.”


The Cognos solution – based around the Cognos products TM1, BI and Controller, and delivered and supported by Logicalis UK - provides ASM with a comprehensive and tightly integrated Management Information System (MIS) that is closely aligned to business processes, improving communication, collaboration and informed decision making in its manufacturing facilities, sales and support operations worldwide. As well as assisting with the solution’s integration, Logicalis also provided training and consultancy throughout the deployment.


“It’s been a successful and rewarding project, helping ASM realise their business aspirations in the areas of forecasting and financial reporting,” said Chris Gabriel, Chief Technology Officer at Logicalis UK. “Choosing the strength and flexibility of the IBM Business Analytics portfolio not only satisfies ASM’s immediate requirements but provides a platform for realising many future benefits from fact-based decision making and predictive management capabilities.”
