Overall Satisfaction with BOARD

It is used across our organization to serve as a group reporting system. We also implemented some interfaces with other legacy systems to collect data and calculate business KPI.
  • Flexible
  • Easy to use for the end users
  • Easy to integrate with other systems
  • Management of the licenses is too rigid and too expensive
  • Improvement to move on a SaaS base
  • Positive impact, because it allowed us to eliminate a set of Excel-based reporting
  • Increased the speed to get data from the different companies of the group in a standardized way
We chose BOARD because it gave the impression that it was more flexible and easy to use internally both, from a user point of view and an IT perspective. After a few weeks, people from my staff (IT) started to work hands-on with the system to try to develop reports.
Useful for creating a data warehouse to collect data from different systems, and integrate them together to prepare complex reports.
