Case Study: 3Com achieves rapid, accurate forecasting and better resource allocation with John Galt Solutions' Atlas Planning Suite

3Com Better Allocates Resources Using John Galt

3Com, a leading provider of secure, converged voice and data networking solutions with about 1,500 employees in more than 41 countries, needed to streamline its forecasting and reduce the downtime involved in data preparation so it could better allocate resources. It engaged John Galt Solutions, first using ForecastX Wizard and then deploying the Atlas Planning Suite’s Demand Management Engine and Procast for statistical forecasting and demand planning.

John Galt Solutions’ Demand Management Engine let 3Com forecast up to 8,640,000 individual buckets, complete its first forecast in under 10 minutes after installation, and forecast 700 items in less than one minute using Data Capture, Procast and Group Forecasting. By applying Procast’s autonomous selection of 20+ methods, 3Com improved forecast accuracy, cut data-prep time, and freed analysts to review and adjust forecasts, enabling better resource allocation.
