Mercur at Rusta
Mercur is very easy to use and implement. We do both or montly reporting, budget and Forecast in Mercur and it's very easy for our managers to access their cost centers and drill down to see all detalj down to invoice. We have a lot of new store managers, staff in Europe and Asia and they are up and running in Mercur after 15 minutes education.
CONSWe use Mercus as a tool for reporting but not for deep analyzes

Flexible tool for analysis and insight
We have gained a lot of time for analysis by using Mercu Business Control. The tool was set up to support month end closing as well as the budget process along with the forecast updates. The reports have entitled us to quickly get the overview we need and to consolidate data for the whole organization. In addition we have added new reports for Project analysis along with personnel data and foremost to get an overview of our monthly chargeability rates. Mercur's great consultants and effective support team has been helpful and very informative of how we can make the outmost of Mercur. I have also gained a lot of knowledge of how I as an adminstrator can make changes on my own.
PROSEasy to use, easy to update and give an overview of the information you need to look into. Great tool for analysis as it is possible to drill down and twist and turn data which usually is very static.
CONSWe have experienced that some reports take some time if there are a lot of dependencies but it extracts the information once it's published.

Review from administrator
Easy to use and to administrate. Easy to learn for end users. You do not need consultants to do all development and build reports, you can do a lot yourself without being a developer. You have the possibility to make suggestions about functionality in the system and to get them into the system if it is considered to be a good idea and you feel that the development team and support is near the customers.
CONSSometimes the need of special adaptions makes it a bit difficult to maintain and at that time you need help from consultants. But it is positive that it is possible to solve customer specific problems.

Great support/help to me in my daily analyzing job.
Administartion, user, teacher to nurses and doctors, using a lot of data roght från the Mercur solution for analysis.
PROSOnce you learn it is easy to get all the good numbers and also pedagogically show to others.
CONSSomewhat harder for noneconomial proffessions to use. You should work on the pedagogical output so it is really easy for noneconomistas to use. For doctors nad nurses it would be a great help if it could be easier to understand.
Reason for choosing Mercur Business Control
Overall easy and good overall views and easy to anaylise numbers.

Simple but professional
It saves a lot of time for us when we are going to develop and deep-analyze different events / outcomes via multi-level reports in a simple, professional and structured way. Insurance deals are a little special to report and analyze since both income and claims costs extend over several years.
PROSEasy to learn but great opportunities to develop different analyzes and presentations/dashboards
CONSIt can be a little difficult to get started with thinking about how to build different analyzes, but when things are in place it is just to run.
Reason for choosing Mercur Business Control
Unfortunately I can't answer that because I didn't work in that department or in that process then.

Mercur business control
It has really improved our forecasting and once you've gotten used to the way reports are built it's not that hard to adapt and adjust them to your liking.
CONSThere are many choices to be made that you need to take into consideration when building reports to get the information you want. It takes time to know what they all are and what they refer to.

Mercur gets the sophistication vs complexity of use just right.
Provides sophisticated functionality without the usual complexity associated with building and maintaining useable reports. There are still plenty of opportunities for us to develop our use of Business Control even further across the business. The new version can process data at a blistering pace! We can run a transaction level extract from our current ERP and make deploy that information via tens of user reports within a couple of minutes. Its faster at processing and deploying information than our native ERP solution is.
CONSSome of its graphical capabilities were a little lacking we found but this is being addressed with new developments.
