Business Background
The Regional Dashboard is just one of a series of around 10 dashboards, and 100 operational reports developed for Bristol Myers Squibb’s sales force and Sales Operations Management in 2008.
 
The parent application is in use at BMS UK headquarters, and also with several hundred sales staff. The data is sourced from around 15 separate pharmaceutical feeds, and fed into a central data warehouse. The reporting environment is Microsoft’s BI platform, Analysis Services. The Reporting and Analytics toolset is the XLCubed suite, with report delivery through XLCubed Web Edition. The web based reports are fully data connected and dynamic, such that when new data is loaded into the warehouse layer it is instantly available in the reports, significantly reducing ongoing maintenance.
