Case Study: Siemens achieves automated, up-to-date analytics and increased productivity with Alteryx

Siemens Gas & Power Saves Time & Increases Productivity with Alteryx

Siemens Gas and Power, part of the global Siemens group, launched a 2016 productivity offensive to identify and cut unnecessary costs across thousands of measures involving over 5,000 datasets and 8,000 employees. Analyses were slow and error-prone: teams relied on static Excel/PowerPoint reports and complex VBA macros that ran only weekly, leaving insights outdated and costing analysts as much as four days per month. Tony Adam, Data Intelligence and Automation Manager, sought a user-friendly alternative to speed up and stabilize the process.

The team adopted Tableau for interactive visualization and Alteryx for end-to-end automation and self-service analytics. Alteryx automated repetitive data preparation, eliminated manual macros, and enabled dashboards to refresh every three hours, so data stays current and trusted. The platform’s ease of use created citizen data scientists, transferable workflows, and a growing internal community, boosting usage across the business and delivering faster, higher‑quality insights and measurable productivity gains.
