Case Study: Recall saves $1 million and speeds data access with Microsoft SQL Server 2012

Records Management Company Gets Real-Time BI, Boosts Sales with Mobile Solution

Recall, a global records management firm with 5,000 employees, needed faster access to its key performance indicators and more intuitive business intelligence tools. Its data was spread across 35 databases in four regional centers, making data synchronization and custom analysis a slow, manual process that hampered decision-making. To overcome this challenge, Recall turned to Microsoft for a solution using Microsoft SQL Server 2012.

Microsoft implemented a consolidated SQL Server 2012 data warehouse, which included tools like Power View and PerformancePoint Services for self-service analytics. This solution sped up queries by 90% and provided daily, rather than monthly, access to critical data. The results were significant: Recall saved $1 million in hardware and licensing costs and drastically reduced the time its IT staff spent on manual data retrieval from weeks to just an hour.
