Case Study: Burns & McDonnell achieves faster financial reporting and deeper insight with Hubble

Burns and McDonnell Build Valuable Financial Insight

Burns & McDonnell, a full-service engineering and construction firm, faced a significant challenge with its Oracle E-Business Suite. The system's inflexible reporting made it extremely difficult to access detailed financial data, forcing the company to rely on inefficient ad hoc queries, spreadsheets, and IT support. This lack of real-time insight hindered their ability to plan and make data-driven decisions for their clients, prompting them to seek a new reporting solution from vendor Hubble.

Hubble was implemented as a real-time reporting solution integrated with their Oracle ERP. The platform enabled users to drill down to the lowest transaction detail instantly without navigating multiple hierarchies. This slashed the time to create reports from days to minutes; month-end overhead reports now take about an eighth of the time. Hubble's pre-built templates also built self-sufficiency, freeing the accounting team from relying on IT and allowing them to focus on analysis. The vendor Hubble provided critical efficiency gains and valuable financial insight.
