Case Study: Dubai International Financial Centre frees up staff time and cuts month-end reporting from days to hours with insightsoftware Wands

Chief Financial Officer Manages to Free Up Time for His Small Team Thanks to Wands

Dubai International Financial Centre faced a need for faster, self-serve financial reporting so its small finance team could make split-second, data-driven decisions across a multi-jurisdictional SAP environment. CFO Rajesh Pareek sought an easy-to-use, customizable OLAP tool that required minimal IT involvement; the authority selected insightsoftware’s Wands (GL Wand) to meet this challenge.

insightsoftware implemented GL Wand and had DIFC testing and live within a month, integrating seamlessly with SAP. The solution automated manual processes so teams can pull and prepare data in hours instead of days, dramatically reduced month‑end closing time, and freed up staff time—delivering measurable time savings and improved executive confidence in analytics.
