Case Study: American Conglomerate achieves faster financial reporting with AIM Consulting Group

American Conglomerate delivers finance reporting to 250 users with AIM Consulting Group

A major American conglomerate faced significant challenges in its digital transformation, specifically within its finance office. The company struggled with a complex financial model and 15 years of global data, relying on inefficient self-service reporting that took up to a month to produce. After a systems integrator failed to create a workable solution using Power BI, the conglomerate's CIO brought in AIM Consulting Group to assess the gaps and unite the disparate IT processes into a solid data and analytics platform.

AIM Consulting implemented a comprehensive big data finance reporting solution. They constructed a new data platform by creating pipelines from SAP HANA through a Hadoop data lake and a SQL-based analytics platform to feed data effectively into Power BI. This solution eliminated data bottlenecks, dramatically increased reporting efficiency, and provided a single source of truth. The measurable results included the elimination of legacy Excel reports and much faster report delivery for 250 users, leading the client to extend AIM's contract to scale the solution further.
