Case Study: Austin Peay State University achieves 30% faster reporting and frees 25% of IT time with Global Software, Inc.'s Spreadsheet Server

Austin Peay State University - Customer Case Study

Austin Peay State University, an educational institution running the Banner ERP, faced reporting problems that included difficulty accessing applicable data, heavy reliance on IT to create or edit reports, slow report turnaround, and lack of standardized reporting. The university evaluated reporting tools (including Argos) and needed a solution that would let finance staff generate reliable reports quickly while staying in Excel.

By implementing Global Software’s Spreadsheet Server (used alongside Argos), Austin Peay enabled live Excel-based access to ERP data and empowered users to produce ad hoc and standardized reports. The change freed up to 25% of IT support time, cut reporting time by up to 30%, improved account analysis, and helped the team prepare more efficiently for the annual audit.
