Case Study: The Ken Blanchard Companies achieves 60-hour-to-8-minute report builds with PrecisionPoint

The Ken Blanchard Companies - Customer Case Study

The Ken Blanchard Companies faced a BI challenge: their Microsoft Dynamics NAV built-in reports were insufficient to support a recent restructuring into five business units and the broader financial analysis leadership required. Vice President of IT Terry Orletsky searched the market for a solution and selected PrecisionPoint, a BI platform designed to "lift the lid" on Dynamics NAV data and provide the dimensional reporting the company needed.

PrecisionPoint built a coherent data warehouse and usable OLAP cube in days, delivered training and a subscription trial that proved the numbers were accurate, and was later converted to an on-premises capital deal. The impact was dramatic: a telecommunications analysis that once took 60 hours of Excel work was recreated in under two hours and then reduced to 8 minutes, uncovering $65,000 in savings, faster report distribution via Excel and web, and broad, reliable reporting that revealed previously ignored profitable areas — all enabled by PrecisionPoint.
