Most Modeling is Done Here!It is the right tool, but…

• Disconnected• Data Security Risks• Error-prone • Doesn’t scale• No controls / audit trails• Multiple calculations• Spreadsheets are

inefficient for more than two dimensions

Business is more than “2D”

• We typically look at more than two dimensions (multi-dimensional)

• So what do we do?• Add more column headers!

• In our example:• “Total” Market BY “Total”

Product, Actual Sales for Qtr1 = 95,820

• Creates HEADACHES!

Multi-Dimensional = Multi-Sheet…

• Add a sheet for each brand• 4 brands + Total = 5 Sheets

• The problem exacerbates…

Data discrepancies, low confidence in the numbers

No standard set of performance measures, lack of detail for analysis

3000 locations worldwide

More than $1 billion in sales

After

Improved availability of data (from hours to 30 minutes)

Standard set of measures Improved quality of service (order

completeness improved, “out the door“ time reduced 10%, higher customer satisfaction scores)

Faster identification and reaction to theft issues
