Case Study: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute achieves faster financial reporting and improved budget management with Informatica

Cancer care institute introduces one common platform for enterprise reporting and analytic purposes; reduces time to prepare research funding reports from six days to one and a half days with Informatica

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a Boston-based leader in cancer care and research, needed to better track operating expenses against budgets and understand whether funding was being spent effectively. The organization faced the technical challenge of integrating multiple source systems and required a sophisticated, flexible data integration platform to support enterprise reporting and analytics.

By implementing the Informatica Platform, Dana-Farber provided managers with daily operating expense reports, introduced a common reporting and analytics platform, and reduced research funding report preparation from six days to 1.5 days. The solution also cut finance support calls, improved budget management, and set the foundation to transform clinical operations and help clinical teams identify patient-care trends more quickly.
