The Challenge
Svedala Municipality was facing the challenge of controlling operating costs without jeopardizing service levels to constituents. They needed to analyze information from disparate data sources and deploy a solution that did not require support from expensive consultants. As a result of a major reorganization in the healthcare sector, managers with increased budget responsibility needed a tool that was easy to use. Previously, managers had been forced to manually print out and compare data from different systems to be able to review all costs associated with any given decision.
