Case Study: The London Internet Exchange eliminates critical budgeting errors and improves forecasting with insightsoftware Bizview

Internet Network Provider Eliminates Critical Budgeting Errors by Moving from Spreadsheets to Bizview

The London Internet Exchange (LINX), a not-for-profit internet peering organization connecting over 950 ISPs across 80+ countries, faced time-consuming, error-prone budgeting and reporting driven by home-made Excel spreadsheets and email-based consolidation. These manual processes produced critical errors, poor traceability, and difficulty combining data from multiple systems, so CEO Kurt Erik Lindqvist chose insightsoftware’s Bizview to resolve the issues.

insightsoftware implemented Bizview—integrated first with Sage and later with Xero—to centralize budgeting, rolling two- and five-year forecasts, financial reporting, dashboards and KPI analysis. The deployment delivered a smooth implementation and measurable benefits: far fewer spreadsheet errors, reduced time spent on manual consolidation, more accurate forecasts and scenario modeling (e.g., pricing sustainability), and richer cross-system dashboards that improved reporting and decision-making.
