Carphone Warehouse needed better ways to visualize and share portfolio, resource, and financial data across its European operations. The retailer replaced fragmented Business Objects reporting with Planview Enterprise Insight Analytics, enabling OLAP-based dashboards that integrate with Microsoft Office tools. The change eliminated manual data handling, created a single version of the truth, and increased executive support for portfolio decisions.

Key takeaways

Business Objects reports lacked visual flexibility and consistent standards for portfolio decision makers.

Insight Analytics delivers OLAP dashboards that integrate directly with PowerPoint, Outlook, and SharePoint.

Automated data pulls removed manual input, saving time and reducing reporting errors.

Drill-down capability on resource demand, project effort, and financials supports faster decisions.

Single version of the truth increased credibility and senior management sponsorship.
