Sales Reporting Dashboard Gives Microsoft a Better View of Its Business

Category: Data Management, IT Management

Overview Microsoft has efficient sales and marketing organizations. But these organizations suffered from the disparate and time-consuming manner in which sales and marketing reports were assembled. The company wanted to provide a central data source for reporting that would produce information that could easily be rolled up with other district and regional reports to gain a better view into the business. Blackstone & Cullen, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, created a Monthly Business Review (MBR) Dashboard using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services. The solution has brought consistency to reporting across the company, and has greatly reduced the time that used to be spent assembling monthly reports - providing for an estimated ROI of just two weeks.
