What are advanced/ mature PMF customer doing to move away from using excel spreadsheets an interim data source solution?

We have grown the number of scorecards and each requires a spreadsheet to be used as an aggregation tool to feed the datamart.

Interested in hearing other solutions / techniques to get away from the use of spreadsheets.

Thanks in advance,
Rick

We've seen customers move off these rather quickly... in general, PMF can get data from any source WebFOCUS can access, so the need to create interim spreadmarts to hold data - and thus to incur a lot more manual work than is needed - gets superceded by interim ODSs or warehouses.

One main reason people seem to buy PMF is to enable more automated metrics acquisition. How that gets done is up to each customer. Typically whatever source is used for operational reporting onsite is a good first place to go.

Any other ideas/contributions?

What about the use-case where measure data is derived from multiple sources and requires an manual approval/adjustment step prior to being loaded to PMF datastore?

How is this process being performed at other installed sites?

Thanks again,
Rick
