Business Intelligence is nothing new to CGR. After using other BI tools in the past and being less than satisfied with the results, CGR\u2014a key player in the construction industry\u2014set out to find a tool<\/strong> that was truly tailored to its needs.<\/strong> <\/p>\n \u201cWe already had statistical tools from our ERP system. However, we lacked flexibility\u2026 Whenever we wanted to vary our approach and move beyond traditional statistics, we had to systematically create new queries internally, which offered little return on investment. We were dependent on our IT department,\u201d says Sylvie GENIBRE, Head of Marketing and Communications at CGR.<\/p>\n To go beyond traditional statistics and take its analyses a step further<\/strong>, the company wanted to adopt a newer and much more flexible tool.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It took several demonstrations from various vendors to gain a comprehensive view of the market.<\/p>\n \u201cWe asked three service providers to create a demo database for us using our own data. And DigDash\u2019s solution was the one that impressed us the most.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n “In June 2014, we chose the DigDash Enterprise solution because we were impressed by its ad hoc analysis feature\u2014a capability that their competitors didn’t offer with the same level of flexibility<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n This provides users with a comprehensive set of tools. They can cross-reference the analysis dimensions and values of their choice as they see fit. <\/p>\n \u201cSome users have specific challenges and a need to delve deeper into the analytics. The customized solution offered by DigDash was very well received by our employees. The ad hoc analysis met our immediate needs, so we implemented it right from the start.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nDigDash has set itself apart from its competitors<\/h2>\n
