September 3, 2008 - Compassion International, a Christian child development ministry, selected the Kalido Dynamic Information Warehouse and the Kalido Business Information Modeler to power its new Ministry Information Library (MIL), an enterprise information management project.
Kalido was selected over a traditional-style, custom-built data warehouse because of Kalido’s ability to deliver answers to business questions. Kalido’s data warehouse automation, iterative approach and business-model-driven software were key to Compassion International's selection, according to Kalido.
Led by Kalido partner Project Performance Corporation (PPC), the MIL project will strengthen Compassion’s fundraising ability by reducing its administration costs, enabling it to raise more funds and devote a greater percentage of those funds to helping the world’s children.
As a charitable foundation that delivers more than $250 million to its child development program and to sponsor/donor ministries worldwide, Compassion faces many of the same issues as highly regulated, geographically distributed enterprises, including a difficulty in obtaining true intelligence about its global operations.
Not only will Kalido help Compassion organize their information assets for consistent reporting, but Compassion’s business users will also be able to use Kalido’s business modeling approach to define new requirements and respond to them quickly.
