IT Weapons provides industry leading expertise in virtual infrastructure, application delivery, network security, storage and backup strategies, and more.
Their Challenge
IT Weapons generates client reports quarterly using a time-consuming, semi-manual process. These quarterly static reports had limited their customer’s ability for planning. In addition to being tedious and laborious, report generation was cost IT Weapons greater than one (1) full-time equivalent employee on a yearly basis. Considering the implication that data ages quickly, yet the effort to generate reports limits the frequency at which they are produced; IT Weapons was tasked with finding a BI solution that would improve and automate their entire process by creating dashboards that clients would be able to access at any given time. By virtue of creating these dashboards, IT Weapons’ goals were to increase customer’s satisfaction and their overall value proposition. The long term outcome supports a greater market share, higher earnings – through greater user adoption and retention – and bigger growth through new revenue streams.
Their Needs
IT Weapons required a BI platform that was able to connect to live data and provide the necessary insights their clients desired. They needed a solution that would integrate seamlessly into their application, that would allow them (as a provider) to create a single set of dashboards for all clients in order to create complete separation between one another. IT Weapons envisioned a need to create 2 distinct types of dashboards:
- Client-Facing Dashboards - targeted to IT Weapons' clients
- Internal Dashboards - targeted to IT Weapons' employees
Moreover, IT Weapons wanted a solution that would meet numerous requirements in vital categories, which included Self-Service Metrics, Multi-Tenants Security, Connectivity to Proprietary Data Sources, Scalable Deployment, Web Integration, and White Labeling & Branding
