Operational Impact
The implementation of IBM Cognos TM1 has transformed Buffalo's ability to support decisions with timely, accurate data. The company now has a fully integrated view of its business across all channels on a single platform. The automation of the reporting process has allowed analysts to focus more on analyzing information rather than gathering it. The use of analytics has become a critical application for the business, changing the corporate culture fundamentally. Managers have become independent and empowered, thanks to their ability to access accurate, timely, and relevant information. They can now visualize and measure performance at a glance, and make better and faster decisions with confidence.
