Key outcomes
Improved data consistency
Increased access to key insights
Aligned HR and Finance teams
PTC wanted to advance from basic HR reporting to enhanced analytics that incorporate business data and people data. Visier was the key.
THE CHALLENGE
Reducing manual entry and analysis
PTC’s HR team was spending too much time and energy building elaborate reports and data visualizations by hand. This manual approach sometimes introduced human error or inconsistency in how metrics were calculated and interpreted.
The HR organization needed a better way to compile data consistently, so they could deliver accurate analyses and powerful insights to their business counterparts.
THE SOLUTION
Bridging the HR & Finance gap
With Visier People®: Organization, PTC brought all their business data and people data into one place, delivering pre-built analyses that reduce manual work. Soon, PTC expanded Visier beyond HR to the Finance team to increase alignment and data consistency.
“The value of people analytics is insights, but you need consistent data to get there,” explains Dave. “Now when we talk about a metric, everyone’s looking at the same component.”
Visier helped us get Finance and HR on the same platform and the same page, especially when talking with business leaders. Because we use the same, consistent data.
Dave Fineman, Leader of People Analytics and Workforce Planning, PTC
1. Fast implementation
Rolled out Visier to their HR organization in just 10-12 weeks.
2. Aligned HR & Finance teams
Centralized and standardized data into a single source of truth.
3. Less human error
Used pre-built visualizations to deliver insights to stakeholders.
4. Out-of-the-box technology
Gained the ability to view the same data in multiple ways, instantly.
We wanted to get away from having to download data, upload it to Excel, and create our own analyses or visuals. We were trying to upgrade not only the technology but also the analysis itself.
Dave Fineman, Leader of People Analytics and Workforce Planning, PTC
THE OUTCOME
Unifying data for powerful insights
PTC uses Visier to combine business data and people data, giving HR and Finance leaders access to the same insights and information. “Since stakeholders have one, secure place to go,” begins Dave, “it’s very timely to incorporate data into the overall decision-making process and effectively drive change within the organization in areas where we were previously unable to.”
