The company uses the Atlas query functionality for reporting beyond Financials/GL for the following types of reports beyond Financials/GL:

Results

  • Freed up 75% of their organization’s IT support now that they have Atlas to create reports

“We run product dimensions to define what a product is. Atlas has simplified this process by giving us ease of use and flexibility when comparing dimensions against different SKUs.”
