Saving Millions Through Quick Access to
Financial Information
The State of Tennessee is using MicroStrategy to anchor its financial data access data warehouse. With MicroStrategy, decision makers in more than 60 statewide agencies, including the Departments of Human Services, Finance and Administration, and Revenue, are able to more effectively track revenues and expenditures, and make more informed decisions that can reduce costs and increase efficiency.
“With the MicroStrategy platform, end users are able to access financial data via the Web, which is proving to be the most valuable service the State of Tennessee has provided to its statewide agencies in the last decade,” said Sherrie Benn, Data Warehouse Consultant at the State of Tennessee. “More than just a report writer, the MicroStrategy Business Intelligence Platform™ offers analytical capabilities far beyond what has been available.”
“It is anticipated that the use of MicroStrategy software will help the State of Tennessee better manage financial information, leading to efficiencies that will save both time and money,” added Jan Sylvis, chief of accounts at the State of Tennessee. “Ultimately, we expect to see improved strategic planning, activity-based costing, and activity-based management in support of State programs.”
MicroStrategy is providing the State of Tennessee’s end users with comparative and exception reporting, more efficient and timely data analysis, enhanced financial data analysis, summary level reporting for management, and consistent interpretation of financial data definitions and business rules.
MicroStrategy and the State of Tennessee’s Department of Finance and Administration were honored in 2003 with a DM Review World Class Solution Award.
Tennessee’s official state Web site, TennesseeAnytime.org, ranked first in the nation in Brown University’s third annual survey of state e-government performance. TennesseeAnytime has more than one million visitors a month, and since its inception has hosted more than six million e-government transactions. Much of the traffic comes from the more than 60 percent of qualified TennCare providers accessing TennCare eligibility information online, and the nearly 120,000 citizens that have renewed their driver’s license or updated their addresses online.
