Challenge	Genzyme Therapeutics, a pioneer in the development and delivery of transformative therapies for patients affected by rare and debilitating diseases, was facing challenges in accessing and extracting data from multiple sources. The company lacked a comprehensive view of productivity, efficiencies, and revenue, and had inaccurate performance reporting for its business units. Genzyme services customers in both the clinical and the commercial operations areas of the business. In both areas, timely, accurate data helps inform decision-making that leads to increased revenue and better information for patients. In 2009, the company was looking for a reporting solution that would bring data together from across platforms and make it available in a dashboard that would allow users to easily gain insight and make decisions.

Solution	Genzyme deployed QlikView across the organization to deliver a single view of all business unit operations in real time. To get the project underway, Genzyme provided data that allowed QlikView to quickly build applications fit-for-purpose. Applications were needed not only at a departmental level, but also for senior management to understand efficiencies, productivity, results and revenue targets in a single view and in real time. The Balance Scorecard is one example of an initial application that was built for Genzyme to provide top-level management with analysis and reporting against business strategy and future planning. Now an integral part of Genzyme's internal process, the Balance Scorecard provides multiple views and detailed data for all key business areas from customers, to finance, to internal processes to learning and growth. These data are then combined with data from other departments, including sales, finance and legal, based on the overall objectives set. Reports that used to take days or even weeks to generate can now be maintained and available for viewing on an ongoing basis. Read More Log in to view content
