Sole Technology needed a reporting system to help it track the life cycle of its products, from development through production, shipping, warehousing, sales, and inventory. It was also important to ensure that everyone at Sole Technology speak the same business language, so employees in various locations agree on a standard definition of terms when they discuss concepts such as revenue, inventories, and discounts. The company realized it needed to improve its reporting efforts.

Sole Technology chose to deploy BusinessObjects™ Edge Series and Crystal Reports® for reporting, BusinessObjects Knowledge Accelerator to accelerate training for its user base to increase overall user adoption, and Xcelsius Enterprise for executive dashboards.
