Challenge
When using Management Reporter, Springfield Land Corporation experienced the following reporting challenges:
- Accessing applicable data
- Rekeying data from Microsoft Dynamics into spreadsheets
- Manual, multi-step reporting processes
- A lack of access to real-time information
- A heavy reliance on IT to create or edit reports
- Difficulty creating reports in a timely manner
- A lack of data accuracy and/or validity
- Combining/consolidating GL and non-GL data from core systems and other database sources

- Project Management
- Human Resources

- Cost Management
Results:
- Freed up to 25% of the organization’s IT support
