Sun Life Financial of Canada - Intrafocus Customer

“The three-day workshop with Intrafocus was invaluable for aligning our senior team. We all had our own ideas, but through a set of exercises and lively discussions, the workshop enabled us to narrow these down to the priorities that would add the most value to our business. Spider Impact software provides the most effective way of ensuring the priorities are measured and visible throughout the business.”

Bruce Bultitude  – CEO, Power Jacks.

Sun Life Financial of Canada - Intrafocus

“We were looking at the benefits the other day thinking that maybe it’s a bit expensive. But if you look at it as a monthly expense its really not that much. And because since we started we have such an array of historical data and we can manipulate it in so many ways its amazing. I’m not much of a numbers person, the guys here that are numbers people, they are in love with it. It provides incredibly clear analytical data which gives us the ability to make decisions”

“The application is intuitive, and it gives us a better picture of how everything is linked within the organisation. We have had great customer support from the onset. The user guides and training videos have also been helpful and as features are improved within the software, these resources are also updated for our ease.”

Claudia Alvarado  – Strategic Administrator, Belize Water Services.

Sun Life Financial of Canada - Intrafocus
 

“Prior to using Spider Impact we recorded and reported our KPIs and key financial data in a number of different spreadsheets that were published at different times of the month. With Spider Impact we now have a tool for Management and Board meetings to provide easily digestible data including key trends. Also, Management accountability can be easily assigned. The simplicity of use of the application has facilitated its adoption and acceptance.”

Robert Dolbear  – Managing Director, HCR Group.

“Spider Impact, for Sun Life Financial of Canada, has greatly helped us bring together all of our company-wide Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) into a single place. With clear ownership across each specific metric, it has allowed us to improve our monthly reporting of company-wide data, which is on a tight schedule. Its standard framework and ease of use has helped keep dashboards at the right level saying much more by showing much less.”

“We have been working on our strategy development for a while, but have been missing the tools and process to make it practical and well understood within the organisation. Our plan was to go with balanced scorecard approach, it was very complex and we were struggling to implement it.

We enjoyed the workshops, and moreover, with Intrafocus support we now have our strategy cascaded and understood within the whole organisation.”

Software Review: – “Visually attractive user interface, instinctive use, the available documentation couldn’t be any better! There is a start-guide with the basics, but when you need more advanced options, there are also manuals available per topic on the website and loads of video material. You don’t need any technical skills or long learning period to work with Spider Impact. The software does everything you would expect it to do.”  Business Information Management Review

The preparation & circulation of monthly management reports, now completed in a fraction of the time; the presentation quality of the reports & the charts; the functionality of the software; the sharing of information; and all so simple & so user friendly…it is unbelievable. And then there’s Intrafocus, helpful and supportive throughout.”

Setting up our Balanced Scorecard was relatively easy and Intrafocus was very supportive and always on hand to help when we needed it. The software makes our BSC look even more professional and it is easy to navigate and gives users the ability to drill down and get behind the numbers, which is a big advantage for us.”
