Case Study: Waitsfield and Champlain Valley Telecom achieves 98% faster federal reporting with insightsoftware Spreadsheet Server

Telecoms Company Drastically Cuts Reporting Times with Spreadsheet Server

Waitsfield and Champlain Valley Telecom, a utilities company, faced slow, manual multi-step reporting, lack of real-time data and accuracy issues when preparing federal and financial reports. After evaluating a BI solution and the reporting tools packaged with their JD Edwards ERP, they selected insightsoftware's Spreadsheet Server to address timeliness and data validity challenges.

Using insightsoftware Spreadsheet Server (including QueryDesigner for Financials/GL), the company automated federal reporting from almost 8 hours to about 5 minutes (a 98% reduction), set up automatic monthly distribution in multiple formats, and made Trial Balances and financial statements run in minutes and look professional. The change freed up roughly 25% of IT support and trimmed more than 60% from their prior reporting process, dramatically improving timeliness and accuracy.
