Cost Savings Added QualityShooju Value Added
Consistency
Shooju ensures that all analysts are using the same data
across all their tools and applications. By allowing
analysts to upload their own data to the platform, internal
data as well as external data now flows seamlessly -
without messy spreadsheet links.
Currency
By automatically pulling in the latest source data through the
Shooju importer layer, Shooju ensures that all of your
spreadsheets and models are populated with the latest data.
Our native plugins for Excel, Access and all your other tools
allow data to flow through directly without any need for the
analyst to download or copy and paste.
Correctness
The more data is touched by human hands, the more prone it is to errors. By streamlining
workflows and automating work processes, Shooju eliminates most of these errors, saving
time and ensuring that the data you rely on is more accurate.

26. Shooju vs. Custom Data Warehouse
Custom Data
Warehouse Shooju
Design Custom “Plug-and-play”
Cost 7+ digits 5-6 digits
Rollout timeline Months / Years Hours
Scalability Minimal Infinite
Flexibility Low High
Maintenance High Low
Stakeholders IT controlled Analyst run / IT maintained
Tool and app support Clunky, requiring IT Native tool support
26
Data warehouse projects are costly, time consuming and
result in inflexible systems with low adoption rates
27. Shooju vs. Off-the-shelf Data Management*
Off-the-shelf
Data Management* Shooju
Service focus Data provision/management Process improvement
Prepackaged data feeds Many None
Custom data feeds None (not natively supported) Included(all feeds are custom)
Internal data integration Weeks (high consulting fees) Days (included in service)
Process flexibility Low High
Analyst learning curve Weeks Hours
Ease of migrating off Very difficult/impossible Easy
Annual fee 6-7 digits 5-6 digits
27
Data management* solutions focus on generic data
provision rather than process improvement and limit
analysts to a closed and inflexible data ecosystem.
