The Challenge

The company wanted to keep control of all businesses processes with a single BI environment. The initial need to adopt a business intelligence (BI) solution was felt in its commercial department, because sales, customer care and the commercial area in general were important to the company. However, they realized the potential that a BI solution could offer for other departments in their organization, so they expanded its use to the cash flow, finance, production, and marketing departments.
