OpenText earns its stripes at RAF with new reporting solution

RAF support department tightens its supply chain and adds more value with OpenText Magellan Analytics Suite

The functionality of OpenText Magellan BI & Reporting is very impressive. We can do a lot of the manipulation in the report coding structure itself, rather than having to extract the data and then run macros, which was very time-consuming. What used to take up to an hour now takes just a few minutes.
