Operational Impact
WebFOCUS has improved information access, distribution, and analysis for the entire city. Data mining used to involve manually reviewing thousands of hard copy records. Now accountants, auditors, managers, and other key personnel can find, qualify, and publish information when they need it via simple browser screens on the city’s intranet. | |
WebFOCUS has eliminated the need for a group of power users who were responsible for the cumbersome task of creating reports for the entire city government. Now, WebFOCUS has more than doubled the number of people who can create their own reports. | |
WebFOCUS ReportCaster has helped the city automate several key workflow processes. For example, the city has automated the workflow with electronic forms that go out via e-mail each morning, simplifying the process and ensuring that payments are cleared quickly. | |
Quantitative Benefit
The city has reduced manual, hard copy reports from 10,000 to 15,000 pages of financial reports each month to automated e-mail distribution, saving both time and resources. | |
