Brio Software, a leading provider of next-generation business intelligence tools, has announced that Sodexho, a provider of food and facilities management, has signed an enterprise-wide deal to purchase the Brio Performance Suite, thus enabling 20 000 decision-makers to analyse, manage and deliver complex data to various business units within the company.
AST Enterprise Systems Management, a business unit of the AST Group, is the sole distributor for Brio Software in southern Africa.
Using Brio tools, Sodexho employees will gain powerful insight from being able to quickly and easily access and analyse data located throughout the enterprise and then use it to make more informed business and operational decisions.
"For Sodexho to remain competitive in this marketplace, they needed a data analysis and reporting solution that would work with their SAP and Hyperion systems to allow retrieval and distribution of information in a timely manner," says Andrew Cook of AST ESM. "They chose the Brio Performance Suite for its ease-of-use, scalability and ability to provide employees with timely, usable reports for improved decision-making."
As a provider of food and facilities management throughout the US and Canada, Sodexho was looking for an industrial strength reporting and analysis tool that would allow the company to produce more than 100 000 reports each month. With the Brio Performance Suite, Sodexho will be able to analyse business-critical information, spot trends early and take actions that optimise performance and turn volumes of information into presentation-quality reports. Brio provides the visual interface to this business-oriented view of the data.
"By using Brio`s tools, Sodexho will be able to distribute essential information to many decision-makers across multiple business divisions," adds Cook. "This level of distributed insight will help Sodexho maximise the value from their SAP and Hyperion data, greatly improving operations throughout the company."
