Case Study: Vienna BioCenter Core Facilities achieves faster, more accurate forecasting with insightsoftware Power ON

Vienna BioCenter Core Facilities drives improved decision making & reporting efficiencies across €25MM in assets with more collaborative and accurate budgeting and forecasting

Vienna BioCenter Core Facilities, a biotechnology organization managing more than €30MM in high-tech equipment across 13 facilities, needed a better way to handle cost management, reporting, forecasting, and decision support. Using large, complex Excel spreadsheets and an Access database created data-quality issues, slow performance, and a lot of time-consuming manual maintenance. insightsoftware’s Power ON for Planning and Forecasting was brought in to support their Microsoft Power BI reporting environment.

With insightsoftware’s Power ON, Vienna BioCenter replaced siloed spreadsheets and Access with an integrated Power BI + Power ON Power Planner solution on Azure in just 10 days, adding cloud collaboration and write-back through Power BI with Excel-based entry. The impact was immediate: quarterly forecasts moved from weeks to days, accuracy improved, delays and spreadsheet repair work were eliminated, and finance teams could spend more time on analysis and decision support.
