Case Study: Global Services Organization achieves rapid financial insight, $1–1.5M in savings and improved SOX compliance with TIBCO Software Spotfire

Global Services Organization Uses TIBCO Spotfire for Financial Planning, Procurement and Analysis

A $1 billion publicly traded global service provider with offices in more than 60 countries and nearly 5,000 employees faced slow, error-prone financial reporting and limited visibility across revenue, expenses, forecasting and procurement. Finance and Procurement data lived in disparate systems (Oracle GL, PeopleSoft, SAP, Salesforce, MarkView, etc.), making cross-system analysis spreadsheet-driven, time-consuming and risky—and the company also had to meet strict SOX and governance requirements.

The company deployed TIBCO Spotfire across Finance and Procurement to mash data into web-based dashboards and interactive visualizations, enabling on-the-fly drill-downs for P&L, revenue/expense, AP, expense reporting, SOX controls and more. The result was faster, more accurate decision-making—improved forecasting and treasury monitoring, stronger compliance, and identified cost savings (including over $1M from BPO and PO optimizations) that directly boosted profitability.
