Q&A: Bill Powell — Turbocharging ARI’s Culture of Innovation
During our most recent interview with Bill Powell, Director of Enterprise Architecture at ARI, we asked him to brief us on how the company’s considerable investment in technology, including a five year partnership with SAP to develop solutions on their HANA platform, has led to some groundbreaking technological developments in fleet management.
Powell cited an example: “HANA recently enabled us to create the ARI Fleet Health CardTM. HANA allows us to take disparate information from across the organization, whether it’s maintenance information, resale information, fuel information, and stitch it all together for our customers so they are able to truly see what is happening with their fleet in real time and be empowered to ask the right questions that have an impact on operations and, hopefully, on the bottom line.

Huge Strides in Data Strategy for ARI Fleet
ARI has been working very closely with SAP to build an extremely fast database, which is the cornerstone of their powerful data strategy.
