Speridian’s Beacon Data Analytics Solution re-imagines corporate reporting

Client

A large Cooperative Bank with a long history and extensive amounts of client information trapped in multiple systems.

Customer Situation

Business Impact

The business impact was substantial.  By integrating their historic and current data into a single engine, a single source of truth was created.  This allowed meaningful longitudinal reporting to take place for the first time and a host of new functionality that has changed their business.

• Reporting is all now performed from one easy to use system
• It became possible to report on live information
• Reports are easily configurable and allow for information to be sliced, diced, and contrasted in numerous ways
• Key Performance Indicator tracking was implemented
• Operational costs could now be compared accurately to business activities
• Reporting standardized by Specific Period, Adhoc, or At-a-Glance
• Trend analysis and predictive reporting became viable options

These changes made a radical improvement to the bank’s ability to measure current trends and performance, and to create meaningful and measurable plans going forward.
