As an IBM Gold Business Partner we are proud to have achieved Platinum status for customer satisfaction

 

The move to IBM Cognos Controller on Cloud was a success, we’re now using a modern version of the software and we won’t have to worry about staying current in the future. This not only saves time for our IT team; it also puts us in an even stronger position in terms of auditing and compliance, with support for the latest IFRS standards.

Premier Foods

Before we could move to the cloud, we needed to do a pretty big upgrade to our existing system, including moving to a new consolidation engine. Since Controller is a critical system for Premier Foods, we wanted to mitigate risk during the transition, so we looked for an experienced partner. Aramar is one of the few companies in the UK with Controller expertise—they have dedicated Controller consultants, and they had already helped several other companies migrate to the cloud.

A snapshot of how we work

Our experienced team implement a host of Business Intelligence solutions. Here is a clear case study of our reporting and analysis capabilities.

Customer: Apollo, World Class Fire Solutions. One of the world’s largest manufacturers of smoke detectors, modules and notification devices.

Issue: Reports were created in Excel PowerPivot which were laborious to update. The ability to present information in an engaging format was limited. Distributing information to managers was a lengthy, manual process. Apollo were convinced there were important insights hidden in their data that they couldn’t get at.

Solution: Data held in spreadsheets was replaced with superfast, in-memory, OLAP cubes which centralised the data in one place. Once data was loaded into the cubes, all reports instantly updated with new figures. Routine reports were automatically distributed with no manual effort. Business intelligence tools presented the data in stunning dashboards with rich, insightful visualisations. Now Apollo could easily uncover new trends and summaries, to show up anomalies that could be drilled into for the answers.

Outcome: Dashboards were distributed across the business on mobile devices. Rich information has been discovered within the data and enabled better decision making for the business.
