Finance Testimonials

Challenge:

Creata produce and sell toy products in fast food meal packs in all major markets around the world. Its disparate geographical branches were a constant challenge to deploy management reports.

Solution:

With IBM Cognos TM1′s true single BI platform, Cubewise helped Creata recreate their management accounting system in two weeks with a faster and more deployable reporting tool.

Quote:

"I am very happy with the back end data getting aspects of IBM Cognos TM1 which is Turbo Integrator. This is so much neater and faster running than my current logic. Partly because TI is good and partly because, due to TM1′s drill down ability, the volume of data being handled is so much less. I am also very pleased with the IBM Cognos TM1′s ability of getting cube data into presentation quality formatted board reports in Excel."

Tim Murnain – Group Accountant

Challenge:

Anvil Mining is a Perth-based mining company with mines in Africa. Having multiple companies and the general complexity of the business has caused problems for reporting & consolidation which is time-consuming in Excel.

Solution:

Use of IBM Cognos TM1′s simple back-end allowed the finance department to own their solution just like they do with Excel. With TM1 though, their reporting is much faster and efficient and users can still leverage their use of Excel.

Quote:

"Cubewise′s consultant was brilliant and not only implemented a solution to us in little over 2 weeks but also trained our key personnel on maintaining the system. We will be attacking Operational Reporting next with TM1."
