New
Financial Accounting System
Snells had just implemented a new Financial Accounting System.
The database was growing quickly, collecting large amounts of
data that was not being transformed into information. Snell
needed to find the best way to transpose this data into information
that would assist employees in decision making.
Solving problems with Technology
To solve their problem Snell turned to Incubator for a technology
solution that would drive the company to a new level of performance
and customer satisfaction.
Solution
Incubator proposed building a Data Warehouse. The data would
be transferred from the mission critical databases routinely or
in real time, on transfer to the Data Warehouse the information
would be scrubbed and cleaned into a viewable format. The Data
Warehouse would present the information that the users desired
very quickly due to the cleansing it had received on transfer.
The users would be able to access this information via a standard
web browser, no heavy and unwieldy client side software was required.
Today
Today the Snell business intelligence receives over 100,000 hits
per month. Its user friendly browser interface allows users to
find information about customers, suppliers, products and sales
with the click of a mouse.
The business intelligence tool has created a more agile Snell
that is truly using information as a currency to maintain competitive
advantage.
Future
Now the user has been introduced to the concept of business intelligence
and they are using it everyday they can and want to be more involved
in its development. The business intelligence tool at Snell is
evolving constantly as users request access to more and more information
to power decision making.
Quotes
"Before Incubator introduced me to business intelligence
I had no concept or understanding of how technology could solve
our problem. Incubator has exceeded my expectations in delivering
a technology solution that's assists Snell daily in its quest
for constant business improvement."
Pat
Galloway, Chairman, Snell Packaging and Stationery
"When I first started
working at Snell I was daunted by the knowledge I had to acquire
on a corporation and industry that I was new to. The business
intelligence solution fast tracked my learning, allowing me to
become a more valuable member of the team more quickly."
