PBC Implementation

The Client:
Our client is a publicly traded, international Lighting, Graphics, and Technology company. They are committed to advancing solid-state LED technology to make affordable, high performance, energy-efficient lightning and custom graphic products. Our client also provides a full range of design support, engineering, installation and project management services to our customers.

The Challenge:
Our client contacted Inspirage because they needed to replace a heavily dependent Excel-based reporting system with disparate sources of data and a consolidated tool for reporting and planning Expense and Revenue.

The Solution:
Inspirage relied heavily on Data Management to use files extracted from JDE for both GL data and Product level Revenue Data. Two cubes were used in the customer’s PBC application:
• Financial – Reporting and analytics of GL level data for actuals and budget
• Product – Product and Customer dimensions were created which in turn provides a tool for analysis of Top Customers and Products.
