Case Study: Halifax Herald streamlines Excel-based financial reporting and budgeting with Longview

Halifax Herald saves one day per month-end report set with Longview

The finance team at the Halifax Herald found its standard Oracle financial reporting and budgeting processes to be time-consuming and cumbersome, relying on manual steps prone to errors. Seeking an improvement, the media publisher turned to insightsoftware and implemented its Wands for Oracle Excel-based reporting tool to address these challenges.

The solution from insightsoftware provided the Halifax Herald with quick drill-down into real-time data through a familiar Excel interface, eliminating manual keying and exporting. This implementation delivered significant efficiencies, with the finance team saving an entire day on a single set of month-end reports and gaining the ability to instantly update entire workbooks with a simple refresh.
