Bayer is one of the world’s largest life science organizations—crop science, pharmaceuticals, and consumer health—and is present in 87 countries and employs 103,824 people. When its CFO needed a one-stop shop for information and data, finance citizen developers created an entire solution from start to finish. Now, with Microsoft Power BI and Zebra BI custom visuals for beautiful and well-designed reports, the CFO and other finance employees need only look in a single location to answer all their questions and gain the necessary insights.
The Power BI dashboard is a game-changer for us. It enables self-service for our CFO for overseeing the business, and also to present financials in real time to stakeholders, such as the board.
As business continues to rapidly evolve, Bayer is determined to do more with less and do better by providing predictive analytics with quick and smart results. The CFO needed a centralized location to access critical data and insights to inform present and future strategic financial decisions and improve overall efficiency and effectiveness.
