Automated
Report Generation Automated Report Generation A top consulting firm often generated thousands of pages of analysis for consulting engagements. On one engagement the project manager was overwhelmed with a huge number of tables, charts, and graphs to be generated.
Appian Analytics was able to provide a simple, easy-to-manage, outsourced automated reporting solution. “I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical, but the staff at Appian Analytics really knew their stuff. Their focus on data management and automated report production really saved us. I was able to sketch out report examples using paper and PowerPoint. Their programmers were able to automate the reports as exact replicas. “ Perhaps most importantly, when report changes are necessary, Appian Analytics can re-run automated reports to get the results quickly. “Some of our changes came in at the 11th hour which would have been a serious problem for us working alone, but Appian Analytics turned the changes around in no time.“
“It all went really smoothly. We chose to get Adobe PDF files emailed to us as soon as the reports were completed. It nearly eliminated the time to create and produce reports and we were able to focus on what we get paid for—making recommendations to our client.” Many consulting firms face similar problems because
of the time pressure they are under to complete projects that often require
a large amount of analysis work, important presentations to be made, and
large amounts of quantitative data to back up recommendations. With Appian
Analytics, consultants can focus more on their clients rather than the
data. Stop wasting time on data and focus on your business!

“Its not that we didn’t have the support
staff to do the job. Its just that there were so many charts and tables
to be created… there was a great deal of concern about the ability
to maintain accuracy and quality. Also, the amount of administrative overtime
on the project was reaching mythical levels. There is only so much that
can be pushed on the staff before something gives.”
Automated reporting clients can choose to receive
their output in Excel, PowerPoint, paper, Adobe PDF, or other formats.
In addition, turn-around time is further reduced by providing the results
over the Internet using a secure FTP site or email.
