Customer: London Oncology Clinic

"We entered negotiations with Business Objects, but the price-level limited our options. While fine to begin with, in the future every additional user required a large uplift. With Pentaho this is not the case. We ask our clinical staff to enter a lot of assessment data and we want them to see the results of their work. We believe our staff should benefit from BI and Pentaho will make this happen."

Deployment Overview

Key Challenges

• Aggregating operational and financial metrics was difficult and time-consuming
• Needed to create reports to go beyond operational information and analyze business needs and opportunities.

Pentaho Solution

• Pentaho Data Integration
• Pentaho Reporting
• Pentaho BI Suite Enterprise Edition

Results

• Pentaho was selected over SAP (Business Objects) because of the transparent pricing structure. The cost of each user at Business Objects required a large uplift.
• Future plans include extending Pentaho Dashboards to provide insight to patient recovery and provide additional reports to create a monthly clinical outcome report.
• Senior Management and the board are now able to glean basic information on treatment types and diagnoses.
• Benefited from testing out the free download and 30-day trial of Pentaho BI Suite Enterprise Edition.
