Challenge	The Brussels Capital Region, one of three regions in Belgium, was tasked with developing a joint budget for the eight cabinets of the Brussels Regional government and the thirteen semi-public institutes in the area. Previously, all institutes developed their own budgets. This consolidation created the need to find a solution that could simultaneously process a series of extra information flows coming from very diverse data sources. This was particularly challenging as the Cabinet was suffering a shortage of staff at the time. The Cabinet needed a solution that could fit all of the (financial) data from the various data sources, including Excel, Oracle and Access, quickly and easily into one screen. Read More
