Telecoms Company Drastically Cuts Reporting Times with Spreadsheet Server

Challenge

Needed to address the following reporting challenges:

• Manual, multi-step reporting processes
• A lack of access to real-time information
• Creating reports in a timely manner
• A lack of data accuracy and/or validity

• Evaluated the following reporting tools before selecting Spreadsheet Server:
  • A BI solution
  • A reporting tool packaged with ERP

Solution

“Using Spreadsheet Server, I’ve been able to automate numerous federal reporting into a 5 minute process instead of almost 8 hours. We also have reports automatically send at the beginning of each month, making the information more timely for others to receive it. These reports can be sent as a Spreadsheet Server document, a PDF, or an Excel document with no Spreadsheet Server formulas.”

Simple reports, such as Trial Balances, set up a certain way can be run in minutes. Financial statements look professional instead of a canned report from JDE.”

• Uses Spreadsheet Server QueryDesigner functionality for Financials/GL.

• Freed up to 25% of their organization’s IT support now that they have Spreadsheet Server to create reports.
