Case Study: IBAarau achieves granular cost-center planning in 5 days and faster reporting with Jedox

Jedox Powers Flexible Planning and Reporting at Regional Utilities Provider

IBAarau, a regional Swiss utilities provider serving over 30 municipalities, needed to modernize its Excel-based SAP reporting and speed up highly granular planning across some 400 cost centers while meeting regulatory requirements. After evaluating several vendors, the management accounting team selected Jedox for its SAP integration, performance and ease of use.

Working with SAP expert partner iXLOG, IBAarau rolled out Jedox-based management reporting, dashboards and web applications for project, service and cost-center planning — the cost-center solution went live in five days. The centralized, SAP-integrated solution supports 60 users, enables write-back to SAP, automates workflows and dashboards, and has cut reporting and planning effort (e.g., 3 days saved for quarterly reports, 5 days for annual planning), delivering faster cycles, more transparent budgets and reliable results.
