Overview

VLink’s client was relying on a reporting system based on manual creation and trafficking of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. This was holding back the company, which is a Europe-based designer and manufacturer of industrial automation and control systems. VLink was retained to revamp this entire platform. After many studies of the client’s requirements and capabilities, VLink deployed a reporting system based on the Birst business intelligence platform assessments, quizzes, and more to evaluate and assess students. Their current Microsoft Excel-based system had several limitations. This slowed productivity, frustrated staff, and reduced revenue. It diverted employees from their core tasks by making them create, manage, and share multiple Excel files. The process included four different data sets with multiple business rules. Targeted Audience: Offer managers, category managers, senior management Number of Users: 100 to 150 Geography: Global – The U.S., Europe, Asia, Africa (total of 100 countries)

Challenge

The client needed an easier and better reporting solution which would allow them to quickly access performance management reports related to their sales and marketing portfolio. The solution would be easy to maintain and easily modified to meet ongoing user expectations and enhanced based on user feedback.
