Case Study: PRA Health Sciences achieves 80% faster reporting and reliable remote access with insightsoftware CXO

PRA Health Sciences Turns to CXO Software to Reduce Time Spent on Reporting

PRA Health Sciences, a global healthcare intelligence partner, faced slow, fragmented financial reporting across its 16,000-employee organization—previously relying on Excel dashboards and an older CXO setup that required remote desktop access and lengthy data loads. To modernize reporting and support remote access, PRA deployed insightsoftware’s CXO product across finance, moving to the latest release and training internal administrators to manage the tool.

Working with insightsoftware to upgrade and configure CXO, PRA achieved faster, more self‑service reporting and a reliable single source of truth: data load times dropped from about 30 minutes to roughly 5 minutes (an >80% reduction), executives gain aggregated P&L and balance views for month‑end close, and users can access reports remotely without heavy IT support—improving reporting efficiency and timeliness across the organization.
