Success Stories

Project: Implementation and Management of an Accounting-based Platform
Industry: Education
One of the features that we like most about Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the flexibility in meeting our requirements and the availability to do
modifications to the system. It also provides and transforms data into timely and relevant reports necessary in decision-making . It lessens my
dependency upon the staff to provide me data, information and reports that I urgently need because I can easily generate these from NAV. It
improves efficiency in monitoring performance and responding to problems. Also, NAV passed the requirements set by BIR in the use of
computerized accounting system

Success Stories
Client: Parkson Vietnam
Project: Business Intelligence Sales Analytics
Industry: Retail
Business Intelligence Sales Analytics certainly lives up to its name, just click and view. Managers within my organization now look at reporting at a
different perspective. They are able to analyze better within a short period of time without having to request my department to print hardcopies to
cross-check figures. The dependency on my staff has lessened and this helps in keeping the IT team lean and more efficient to work on other
projects. The retail environment is volatile, decision-making based on accurate and up-to-date figures is very crucial. This BI solution has made this
big difference to us
- Bernie Cheong MIS Manager, Parkson Vietnam

Challenge
Time consuming report development
Limitations in the ability to analyze the
information in the current hard copy
reports
Difficulties in consolidating data from the
various data sources

in multiple versions of the truth
