Business Intelligence Implementation Led to Enhanced Operational Efficiencies Power

 

The client is a state government agency in one of the states in the USA. The agency operates a state-wide financial system to enable the state to perform budgeting, procurement, cash management, and accounting functions transparently and efficiently, thus eliminating the need for hundreds of independent legacy systems. 

Challenges

To meet its analytical reporting needs in a manner that would reduce traditional dependence on IT, the client had embarked upon a Business Intelligence (BI) initiative.
