Partner, Financial Services at Deloitte TT

The solution is easy to deploy and enables collaboration, but it must improve its speed and enable users to create pivot tables

I rate the ease of setup an eight out of ten. The initial setup was straightforward. The solution is cloud-based. We deployed the product along with Wdata in six months. It was for a lot of use cases. To deploy the tool, we designed the use cases and developed them. Then, we went through unit tests, integration tests, and user acceptance tests. It was an Agile delivery cycle.
