“T-Stats Saved My Weekend” and other True Stories

One of JCA’s most successful Business Intelligence initiatives has been T-Stats – the BI tool that JCA developed for the Tessitura Arts Enterprise software.  With today’s blog I thought I’d start by sharing a story from one of our T-Stats users.

It was Friday afternoon, the end of a long week at the Yale Repertory Theatre, and Janna Ellis, Associate Director of Audience Services, was staring down a pile of report requests to help her company chart a new pricing strategy for its season subscriptions.  Anticipating a weekend spent at her desk, she had already warned her husband and daughter that they might be on their own for the weekend.  Looking at the list of analysis tasks in front of her, she expected that she would be creating countless lists of data, running myriad standard reports, exporting to Excel, and then doing further massaging and manual calculating.

But first – she opened T-Stats.
