Sisense Benefits

Senior Software Engineer/BI Data Analyst at a analyst firm with 501-1,000 employees

We did not have a BI tool previously. We used spreadsheets, complicated pivot tables and macros. Using Sisense, we were able to get rid of those complex Excel sheets, improve the automation of the company and produce meaningful insights.

Senior Manager Analytics at Aarki, Inc.

Before Sisense, we didn't have a single platform to monitor our performance data. As a performance advertisement organization, we needed a place to monitor all performances. Sisense helped us achieve this by pushing our data into one place. Now, anyone in the organization can analyze any data point they need without looking at multiple locations.

Product Owner of Business Intelligence at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees

We are no longer in the business of report changes and making a slight change to a report for a specific customer. Sisense is already reducing our development workload since customers are building their own reports instead of waiting on us.

Vice President of Information Technology at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees

We implemented the solution into an environment that had been using Excel as a business intelligence tool with data delivered on a monthly basis and we have freed our sales staff from being Excel pivot table experts.

Staff Business Data Analyst/ Business Data Manager

A lot of the answers required by internal teams can be found much faster. Scenarios where there are discrepancies in the data can be found quickly by comparing disparate data sources. Also the convenience of using the same build to keep answering several questions without the need to run the entire dataset over and over, speeds things up tremendously.

Section Editor: Print Software at a printing company with 51-200 employees

Our client is graduating from the world of static reports to the world of dynamic business intelligence dashboards. Its a rough transition because it requires a change in behavior. People (IT people) and customers have been turning to static reports for a long time, it takes a little effort to help them understand the power of dynamic data that you can drill into but once they get it, they will never mention a custom report again!

The client we have deployed this for is now able to easily make decisions based on the visualizations from this BI solution. Top Executive Management is able to make decisions without necessarily relying on reports from the mid-level management. This has greatly improved the ability to make decisions based on trends from the past by making projections to the future.

Data Analyst at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

We have MySQL, and we used to run queries to get data and generate reports in Excel and Google Doc. Sisense can do both in a much much faster way, which drives our reporting efficiency into another level.

Business Analyst - Canada at a marketing services firm with 51-200 employees

Better tracking of the targets for our representatives, quick overview of the market by product categories , supplier, customers, states, etc. Ultra fast drill down capabilities that allows us to find answers to Ad Hoc business questions in a few second during business meetings.

Sisense also allowed us to achieve some less conventional projects like abstracting the effect of the price increases on our sales. As some of you might know the Canadian dollars had a lot of fluctuations during the last years. By attaching our multiple price increase list by items (300 000 skus) with a date stamp, to our real sales from our ERP, Sisense allowed us to develop a value that represent our sales without the effect of the prices increases of the last 3 years. With this we can look at the real growth of our market.

Director of Product - AI and Data Insights at a tech vendor with 201-500 employees

Prior to Sisense, we had very limited reporting capabilities in our product. Most analyses were performed manually and delivered to customers in Excel or PowerPoint files. Because these analyses could not stand on their own, we needed a lot of business analysts to guide our customers to make the right business decisions and execute the strategies manually.

Directeur des Systèmes d'Informations at a comms service provider with 501-1,000 employees

In a short period of time, my team acquired the necessary skills to deploy a very high quality BI tool across the company, integrating all our data sources and building dashboards expected by different business units for a long time. Today, no longer have hundreds of Excel files sent across the company to provide a limited view of the business and sometimes with conflicting data. Everything is available in one place, in almost realtime. Managers do not need to search for information, now the information they need comes to them directly.
