“It’s amazing. I’ve never been that productive or that fast on any other analytics platform. Until Incorta, I never would've believed it was possible.”

Using Incorta, the Company Benefited from
Seamless integration of complex data
Incorta retrieves and manages billions of data points across multiple existing systems, without the need to reshape data—saving companies time and stress.
Fast access to key operations metrics
With near real-time data refreshes and blazing fast analytics speeds, Incorta puts the power of accurate information at users fingertips so they can make data-driven decisions.
Simple dashboards, widespread adoption
Even non-technical users can connect to new data sources, customize business views, navigate the data and publish insights without any help from IT, which means they'll actually use it.
The Challenge
Outdated models stood in the way of actionable insights
With 30 offices around the US, GC Services had a wealth of data they wanted to mine for insights into client and internal staffing needs. Their first attempt at BI had followed the traditional data warehousing path—and failed miserably. The company needed an analytics solution that didn’t require extensive data transformation, performed well on even the largest table joins and could access and combine SQL Server, Microsoft Excel, and text files. It also needed to be able to quickly aggregate data with near real-time updates, and be easily accessible so even non-technical users could drill down at multiple levels.
The Solution
Direct data access for fast, easy insights
Within three days, GC Services had set up Incorta on its Cloud Azure instance, loaded and analyzed millions of rows of data, and created the necessary dashboards. Teams could run performance reports in less than a second—no transformations or data modelling required. Leaders and managers can understand and optimize key metrics, which lets them staff call centres for maximum productivity. Incorta also enables the company to quickly customize business views so they can give their clients access to the same data sources labelled with familiar terms, formulas, and grammar. This makes it easy for client users to understand the data, and arrive at their own data insights.
The Results
Powerful insights, unmatched speed.
More than 20 tables and 450 million rows of data from three complex data sources, including SQL, are loaded and analyzed in under 2 minutes.
Dashboard refreshes every 15 minutes to ensure that data is always up-to-date, giving users access to near real-time data around the clock.
Less than 1 second response time is routinely achieved on even the most complex queries, even ones created by non-technical users—no IT intervention is needed.
Optimization for maximum cost savings and productivity.
No more overstaffing thanks to key metrics that help managers understand how many calls reach the right person each day. This allows them to plan and manage resources appropriately.
Quick identification and fixing data quality issues to keep call centres running smoothly, maximizing productivity on the floor, and optimizing outcomes for clients and their customers.
Widespread adoption was achieved through Incorta’s ease-of-use and customizable dashboards, compared to zero percent adoption after six months with Microsoft Power View.
“Our Incorta-powered analytics success encourages everyone at GC Services to think beyond the concept of basic measures and ask better questions—harder questions—because we know we can answer them now..”
