UEVision Chooses Birst for Financial and Project Analysis
On-Demand Business Intelligence Solution Helps UEVision to Better Budget, Scope, and Forecast Consulting Projects
| Source: Birst
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - August 25, 2009) - UEVision has deployed Birst™ as its
solution for project forecasting, management, and accounting analysis.
UEVision is a leading consultancy on user experience and user interface
design, working with software companies, manufacturers, and publishers.
"Like many consulting firms, our biggest challenge is getting visibility
into how we are spending time and money on projects, and how resources are
being allocated across projects," said Sarah Kling, CEO of UEVision.
"UEVision does a lot of fixed price design work, so it's critical for us to
track back productivity, budget, hours spent, and how well we performed on
a project."
Based in San Francisco, UEVision has worked on user experience projects for
companies like Oracle, Fujitsu, Blue Shield, and Visa, leveraging their
unique three-phase design process. As its successes grew and its number of
projects expanded, managing the projects and establishing appropriate
project bids became more and more challenging. Managing analysis through
Excel, Quickbooks, and multiple other systems became onerous and time
consuming; getting useful reports required hours of manual analysis.
"We needed an analytical solution that was fast to deploy, easy to use, and
had the power that we needed, at a price that provided real value," said
Kling. "Birst has delivered exactly what we needed. We now have quick
visibility into key areas of our business, tracking projects, time,
productivity, and budget information together. So now we know answers to
questions like, how quickly are we delivering for clients? How well are we
delivering? Are we on budget? Birst has been a huge win for us."
UEVision was able to deploy an analytics solution that connected
information from a combination of systems and Excel files in a matter of
weeks, far faster than an equivalent solution from a traditional business
intelligence vendor.
"UEVision is the perfect example of how growing companies can quickly
require sophisticated analytics," said Brad Peters, CEO of Birst. "With
Birst, UEVision was able to quickly get a solution that provided them with
valuable, actionable analysis in just a fraction of the time, allowing them
to focus on their main business -- delivering great customer experiences."
