Case Study: Global Switch achieves real-time FP&A visibility and faster CAPEX planning with Board

Global Switch reduces financial analysis time by 80–90% with Board

Global Switch, a leading operator of large-scale data centres, was struggling with a spreadsheet-heavy financial planning process. This approach limited visibility and slowed down analysis, making it difficult to support complex sales, capital expenditure (CAPEX), and investment decisions across its global portfolio. The company needed a more robust solution to manage its rapid growth and operational complexity.

By implementing the Board platform, Global Switch created a unified environment for planning, budgeting, and forecasting. The solution provided real-time visibility into profitability and enabled advanced scenario modeling. As a result, Board helped reduce the time for key financial analysis by up to 90%, cutting processes that once took hours down to minutes, and empowered the FP&A team to focus on higher-value strategic decision support.
