Before implementing Sisense, alpharooms.com faced significant challenges in providing detailed and interactive reports and dashboards to various business functions. The existing tools, such as Excel and OLAP cubes, were not effective in building user-friendly dashboards or offering easy drill-down interfaces. Additionally, IT involvement was required for any modifications, making the process cumbersome and time-consuming. Lee Eckersley, Head of Business Analysis, had experience with other BI tools like Cognos, Hyperion, and Business Objects, but found them too expensive and resource-intensive for the company's needs. The team needed a more efficient and cost-effective solution to handle their data analytics and reporting requirements.
