Case Study: Leading Multinational Investment Bank achieves real-time MD&A dashboards and instant ad hoc financial analysis with Kyvos Insights

OLAP Modernization at a Global Investment Bank

Leading Multinational Investment Bank, operating in 50 countries, needed an executive-level MD&A dashboard and a single global view of financials that could support instant drill-downs and ad hoc analysis for 700 analysts. Their existing Cognos TM1 environment could only retain two years of history, suffered slow and inconsistent queries, lengthy cube builds, frequent refresh downtimes, limited BI tool support and high costs — so they engaged Kyvos Insights and its Smart OLAP™ technology to address these constraints.

Kyvos Insights deployed Smart OLAP™ and a cloud semantic layer to pre-aggregate massive financial data, enabling five years of history to be modeled and queried at scale. A full cube of 600 million records built in 25 minutes (with even faster incremental builds), dashboard refreshes and query responses in under five seconds, and instant drill-down to the lowest detail transformed MD&A and self-service reporting. Kyvos Insights’ solution integrated with Excel, MicroStrategy and Tableau, supported YoY analysis, enabled global ad hoc reporting for hundreds of analysts, and allowed the bank to publish timely executive and public financial reports.
