Business Case


Some of the common problems that were being faced by our client were:
  • The weekly task of report generation for project was consuming a vast amount of time.
  • The process of fetching information from multiple sources and putting them across reports was prone of human error.
  • Lack of a standard template across the organization often led to confusion
  • There was no information exchange among departments
  • Increased time to market
They were looking for a slide generation application that could fetch information from any data source (excel, file system or database) and represent them in slides. There should be a standard template which could be used across the organization. In addition, there should be an option where critical information is highlighted by default.
  • One of the key challenges was putting it all together in one template, because multiple projects were using multiple templates with different formulas
  • Another challenge was the retrieving data from derived cells (an excel cell whose value depends on another cell) and populating it to PowerPoint. This was a challenge because slides have their own way of representing data
  • To implement a uniform template, it was important that we understood the organization’s reporting requirements. Our experts spent time to understand the purpose behind the reports
  • Once they got a comprehensive understanding of the requirements, they studied the existing templates and optimized them in a way that they could be used uniformly across the organization
  • Lastly, they added all the functionalities and built the software
  • The reporting system got automated
  • The amount of time spent got significantly reduced. What earlier took 3-4 hours of task could now be wrapped up in mere 5 minutes
  • Chances of human error removed
  • Slides can be generated from any source of data
  • It can be used for any number of projects
