Advanced Business Intelligence for Maconomy ERP

A global professional placement firm like Robert Half generates vast amounts of financial and operational data every day. But having data is only half the battle. To turn that data into a strategic asset, a company needs a way to make it clear, accessible, and actionable.
Robert Half was facing a challenge: their existing systems made it difficult to get a unified, accurate view of their business performance, leading to budgeting issues and limited insight into departmental operations.
By deploying a comprehensive Business Intelligence (BI) solution with SAP BusinessObjects Universes, we helped Robert Half gain control of their data, transforming it from a collection of numbers into a clear picture of their business.

They lacked clear visibility into spending, departmental performance, and Service Level Agreement (SLA) compliance.
