TELUS Chooses MotioCI to Keep Their BI Implementation Up to Speed

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) April 21, 2008

Motio, Inc. (formerly Focus Technologies) announced today that TELUS has chosen MotioCI to accelerate the growth and performance of their BI environments.

The TELUS BI team's desire to increase the speed and efficiency of their Cognos promotions, implement version control and keep an audit trail of all Cognos reporting objects was a perfect fit for MotioCI. By implementing MotioCI's "one-click" promotion feature, the TELUS BI team has been able to reduce the cycle times for the promotion of standard Cognos packages, significantly increasing the productivity of the hundreds of report authors working within their Cognos environments. Frequent, automated regression testing of TELUS' BI content and version control have also minimized the delays and errors previously associated with more manual operations.

"The relationship with Motio is an integral part of our rapidly-expanding Business Intelligence Competency Center, enabling holistic change control and proactive issue resolution on our critical reporting portfolio. It has and will continue to increase end-user satisfaction and reduce total cost of ownership of our enterprise-wide Cognos BI environment," said Simon Gratton, Director of Business Transformation at TELUS.

Two MotioCI servers monitor TELUS' five Cognos environments. There are thousands of reports in each instance, with hundreds of report authors delivering BI to a user base of over 3,500 managers and executives.

"The ability to improve the quality and timeliness of that intelligence is an important competitive advantage to TELUS and we're very happy to have been able to help them reach their goals," reported Lance Hankins, Chief Technology Officer, Motio, Inc.
