A business needs to implement a new regulation that calls to for companies to change HR headcount reporting from monthly to daily, both accurately and quickly, without business disruptions.

Implement Business Changes Pain Free

The Business Challenge

New regulation calling for companies to change HR headcount reporting from monthly to daily
must be implemented accurately and quickly, without business disruptions.

The BI Challenge

The BI group must quickly and accurately locate the formula calculating the headcount in reports,
database tables, ETL processes, views and stored procedures – without additional manpower. The
BI group must also understand all possible impacts of making the change.

 

How BI Worked Before Octopai

In order to locate the specific calculation, BI had to manually map out the entire BI landscape.
With metadata scattered all over the place, this is a very time consuming and costly process, which
can require multiple development and design cycles before completing the change.
