Case Study: Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice achieves streamlined reporting and automated web delivery with OpenText Analytics

Leverages Actuate Enterprise Reporting Solution to Streamline Report Creation and Distribution— Automated Reports Delivered via the Web

Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC is a large, multi-office business law firm that faced growing reporting complexity as it expanded: six different report-development tools, batch paper distribution that delivered stale data, and inefficiencies from printing and mailing many unrequested reports. The firm needed a centralized, secure intranet solution able to read varied databases, provide real-time and standardized reports, preserve on-screen/print fidelity, and control access by user group.

Womble Carlyle implemented Actuate’s platform to build WIReD (Womble Internal Report Distribution), consolidating financial and HR reporting and delivering reports instantly via the web with page-level security and exact on-screen printing. The rollout eliminated multiple report writers, cut printing and distribution time and costs, increased published information tenfold while keeping it manageable, and freed accounting staff to focus on higher-value work.
