We need flexibility and agility. We need to be able to respond to regulatory changes and to market demands quickly and efficiently. That’s what the TimeXtender/Qlik Sense combination gives us.

It has been easy to take over and manage the TX DWA solution because it is user-friendly and easy to operate. My colleagues and I have not needed to attend courses, training or use expensive external consultants to help us get started. TX DWA is so intuitive that we can handle data and functionality ourselves. It is a very easy tool to maintain and when the finance function asks for new reports, we are able to quickly connect data sources and produce standard reports in the system.

We are in a very interesting development period in Elanders Sweden AB where we are increasing our global presence and developing new business areas. Business Intelligence plays a key role in this process and the information – the correct information, mind you – delivered at the right time is crucial to management’s decision-making process and the management of the company. The TX DWA platform means that we can provide the necessary management information, analyses and reports on the business.

Time to result has been spectacular! TimeXtender simply helped us automate the technical process, just like Qlik has helped us deliver striking visuals. We have been benefiting from Data Warehouse Automation for a year now. I can testify that TimeXtender, together with its partner Ad Ultima, have been true to promise; We have been able to deliver on our BI vision, which has left us with time to focus on other strategic change projects. It is reassuring to know that whatever future change may hold, our team will be ready to handle it.

In traditional, manually built Data Warehousing, you need to work with teams of developers, which tends to be slow and costly. When we found out about TimeXtender and Data Warehouse Automation, we immediately scheduled a demo – which looked and sounded very promising.

Better to be approximately right, than exactly wrong.

With regards to plant operations, daily reports are often the first thing on the agenda. Without those daily figures it is hard to guarantee a profitable operation.

TimeXtender’s solution means that we are now much better able to optimize our business. We can quickly locate the key figures enabling us to make the right decisions in time. It has given us a greater degree of flexibility as we now have the power over our own data. Very rarely do we now use external consultants, because our own controller – after receiving efficient training with TimeXtender – now masters 90% of what we use the solution for.

With TimeXtender we started validating the first reports three weeks after we begun the implementation. If we had decided to write the code ourselves, we would have needed an SQL-expert, and it would have taken a lot longer.

Today we are using the same ERP system in 9 out of 15 countries. We use TimeXtender to configure the “data cube” and, afterwards, for moving data from the ERP system to the frontend system Targit. And it really is a fantastic tool for this task because it makes it so much easier and faster to configure data cubes compared to traditional programming which often requires consultant assistance.

Previously, extracting and converting data for our Targit BI system was a major and complicated task. But now, when we use TimeXtender for this task, it only takes me a few minutes each time. And this is true of all the other tasks, where we have to extract and transfer data between different IT applications.

We are in the midst of a turn-around that will strengthen Novenco’s economy and competitive advantage. In that connection, we have started to use key numbers and performance indicators from across the organization – including production, sales, project management, purchasing, finance, shipping, and so on, – to help guide the management of our company. And to do this, we use a Business Intelligence solution consisting of TimeXtender and Targit. We use TimeXtender to build up our data warehouse and Targit as the presentation tool. It’s really a great combination because it enables us to give management all the metrics that they want.

In TimeXtender, we found the perfect complement to our BI solution. It’s a particularly user friendly tool, allowing anyone, even without technical skills, to build the data set he needs using ‘drag & drop’. And without having to rely on the ICT department. Before, it took us three days to build a new BI report, now we fix the job in only 45 minutes. We can say without hesitation that TimeXtender saves us 80% in time.

TimeXtender gives us the time-to-market agility to quickly look into and analyse data. Without it, we simply wouldn’t be able to produce reports so quickly.

It was a matter of finding the right tool for the job: a solution that would make it easy and fast to get our BI up and running.
