Case Study: Stephen F. Austin State University achieves 25% productivity gain and saves up to 200 reporting hours with insightsoftware’s Spreadsheet Server

University Harnesses the Power of Spreadsheet Server to Create Interactive Custom Reports

Stephen F. Austin State University struggled with slow, manual reporting from its Banner ERP—requiring re-keying of data, heavy IT support, no real-time access, and difficulty producing timely, standardized education reports. To address these challenges the university deployed insightsoftware’s Spreadsheet Server to create interactive, custom reports tied directly to their ERP.

insightsoftware’s Spreadsheet Server delivered live access to Financials/GL and reporting across financial aid, tuition, loans, funds/grants/awards, budgets/payroll, encumbrances, audits and board reporting. The implementation automated 50–100 reports, saved an estimated 100–200 reporting hours per year, and increased employee productivity by about 25%, substantially reducing the burden on IT and finance staff.
