Case Study: Reading for Education achieves 60% faster reporting and frees over 50% of IT support with Global Software, Inc.'s Spreadsheet Server

Reading For Education - Customer Case Study

Reading for Education, a medium-sized professional services organization, faced slow, manual multi-step reporting that made timely financial and external (GASB) reporting, consolidation of GL and non‑GL data, and report standardization difficult. Preparing monthly financial statements and supporting audits and board reports was time-consuming and resource‑intensive.

They implemented Global Software’s Spreadsheet Server (using Excel and QueryDesigner) to automate reporting, consolidate data sources, and standardize outputs for GASB, budgets, audits, and board reporting. The change freed up more than 50% of IT support and reduced reporting time by over 60%, significantly cutting the time to prepare monthly financial statements and improving research reliability.
