What Was The Major Challenge?

A CFO dashboard needs to integrate data from multiple systems to give a complete picture of an organization’s performance. Capturing real-time data from multiple sources and handing it in excel to create reports for analysis is a time-consuming and tedious process and requires multiple resources to complete the task.

Ultimately, decision-makers were left with boring tables and complex calculations.
