Allied
Telesyn Upgrades to Full DI Solution Solution
|
 |
BURLINGTON, MA - Because of DI-Diver's success throughout the company,
Allied Telesyn has recently upgraded to DI Solution, Dimensional Insight's
powerful multidimensional software package designed to transform massive
amounts of data for secure access and intuitive analysis. The full
solution will facilitate IT staff in building a solid data warehouse
history, and allow access to information in a form users can understand.
New Models will include purchasing history for 600 products distributed
to approximately 1,000 customers.
"Diver
brought us out of the dark ages with regard to reporting," says
Hal Currier, IS Applications Manager. "The IS department used
to have to produce fifteen versions of the same report, from the same
data, to try and satisfy different requirements. That's no longer
necessary; users answer their own questions within a few minutes opposed
to a week. With the upgrade to DI Solution, we'll be able to include
more detailed company data, including historical data, and deliver
reports such as perpetual inventory and month-to-month inventory balances
for our users to analyze." Reports will automatically refresh
as the data is updated. Each element in a report is "live,"
allowing the user to click on the actual report item to reveal supporting
details.
Accountants use Diver for sub-ledger reports to analyze receivable,
payable, and revenue data. When they're asked to do special reports
outside of a ledger, they go to Diver. Users in the Marketing department
say they don't know how they lived without it. Financial analysts,
with a few clicks of the mouse, are able to answer questions on the
spot. "It's improved our internal processes and also our service
to customers. The software paid for itself within the first three
days of using it, simply because we were able to analyze data in way
that we were never able to do with standard reports," explains
Currier.
For the first time, Allied Telesyn was able to recognize
patterns with customers over the last few years by doing a credit
return analysis. Also, their order cycle is changing, so when they
plot order and order line counts against revenue, it's clear where
they need to make process changes. Their back-end system had a lot
of detail, but presenting that information before Diver was a challenge.
Currier concludes, "Having this data available for quantitative
analysis on our different product lines is invaluable... and Diver's
interface is very intuitive. Users quickly learn how to navigate through
the data; it becomes second nature."
