“We are experiencing a huge
shift from gathering information,
to interpreting it and generating
real time insights”
Rich Evans
Chief Operating Officer
Methven

13. 10 April, 2018 14DXC Proprietary and Confidential
The DXC Eclipse solution provided Methven
with the following benefits:
• Efficiency and time-savings through
elimination of manual data reconciliation
and validation processes
• Piece of mind, knowing data has been
validated, and ability to trust the data
• One version of information at the point in
time when managers need it
• Introduction of Agile methodology with
empowered users for faster, more
collaborative iterations of dashboard and
report development
• Team engagement, shift in culture and
improved perception of BI and value of
data to the business
Methven had not historically invested in an
enterprise-wide BI platform, therefore, the
tools in use and BI capabilities varied across
countries; from basic capabilities in Excel, to
Atlas, Management Reporter and bespoke
applications with no automated or
consolidated view.
Reporting and forecasting involved manual
processes and offline data reconciliation. By
the time data was collected, people were
“burnt out.”
The process left little time to think in order to
turn information into knowledge, insight and
ultimately action.
Case Study: Global Design & Manufacturing Company
After a brief Proof of Concept (POC), Methven
chose Exceed Analytics for AX based on
several key factors:
• Rapid proof of value
• A flexible, self-service solution
• Near real-time updates provided
• One version of the Truth
• Compatibility with future versions of
Dynamics
• Prior engagements and established trust
with DXC Eclipse
• Ability to start broad, then go deep
Challenges & Needs Solution & Services Results
Founded in 1886 and listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange with
operations in Asia Pacific, Europe and expanding in to new international
markets; Methven is world renowned for their award-winning designs and
patented Showering & Tapware technology which transforms the everyday.

“Exceed Analytics was a real
project accelerator. Within a
week we went from no Power
BI environment to interactive
GL data visualisations”
Mark Fenton
Executive General Manager & CFO
Endeavour

15. 10 April, 2018 16DXC Proprietary and Confidential
The DXC Eclipse solution provided Endeavour
Foundation a rapid BI implementation that
continues to aid their business transformation:
• Role-specific dashboards with meaningful
KPIs, thus providing business users with the
right data, at the right time, in the right
format
• Ability to twist-and-turn information to
compare performance of the business,
services and locations
• A rich self-service environment that allows
business users to start on a dashboard and
potentially drill all the way down to a
document in SharePoint that is attached to
a Microsoft Dynamics AX transaction
The National Disability Insurance Scheme
significantly changed the way disability
services were funded and delivered across
Australia.
Endeavour Foundation were using multiple
tools that didn’t provide a consistent
reporting model, lacked self-service
capabilities, and required a level of training
and education that added to their business
transformation challenges.
Case Study: Australian Not-for-Profit Organization
After a brief evaluation of options, Endeavour
Foundation chose Exceed Analytics for AX for
the following key reasons:
• Data visualisations are built in Power BI
• Out-of-the box integration with Dynamics
AX
• Ability to integrate with non-Dynamics data
• Capabilities provide great value for money
Challenges & Needs Solution & Services Results
Endeavour Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation headquartered in
Brisbane and is one of the largest disability service providers in Australia,
employing 1800 staff and supported by 1200 volunteers.
