Pricewaterhousecoopers (PwC)

Business Challenge

Extreme report backlog was preventing senior leaders from deriving the insights needed to make critical business decisions during the spring of the Covid-19 pandemic. PwC partners faced risks of making suboptimal decisions based on having incomplete information.

Analytics Solution

To integrate various datasets, PwC introduced a query tool that provides a holistic view of information needed for decision making. The tool is able to be leveraged by nontechnical business users and senior leaders who use it to obtain answers to their questions.

Impact

From senior managers to the chief financial officer, PwC’s leaders use the tool to make decisions related to financial capital on a weekly basis, leveraging granular insights as needed. The solution enables PwC to remove the previous bottleneck that prevented the flow of information, empowering users to query the tool with their own questions.
