East Coast Power and Energy Company - Customer Case Study

Another of Datavail’s clients, an East Coast power and energy company, saw even more dramatic improvements by switching to Oracle EPBCS. Before the migration, the client was using a manual Excel-based process managed by a single person. This individual was responsible for not only preparing Excel templates for two dozen department heads, but also receiving and aggregating the results. By moving to the Oracle EPM cloud, the client hoped to avoid the standard woes of Excel-based processes: wasted time, lack of standardization, and limited reporting capabilities. The client also wanted to take advantage of the positive aspects of the cloud, including less physical infrastructure and fewer upfront costs. The client approached Datavail for a 2-month migration project. Once the upgrade was finished, the client saw major gains in their process efficiency, exactly as they had hoped. Users could enter information directly into the system and automatically aggregate it, without the need for manual data processing. These improvements to efficiency also freed up more time to analyze and gain insights from the data.
