Customer story
GSI automatically provides Qlik-based standard reports
The research centre reports on grant-funded projects so that figures can be passed straight on to its funding bodies.

Before and after
Before
- Standard reporting existed in Qlik Sense, but reports had to be produced individually.
- Grant funding requires additional transparency towards the funding bodies.
- Over 150 people share responsibility for a research budget of 113 million euros.
After
- Individual reports are generated and distributed automatically.
- All reports are available weekly as PDF and XLS files on the network drive.
- Authorisation criteria give each user access to the content relevant to them.

The problem
GSI operates a large, unique ion accelerator that scientists from around the world use to study the structure of matter. Anyone managing projects of that size has to keep effort, costs and remaining budget in view, and grant funding adds a duty of transparency towards the donors. GSI already used Qlik Sense for standard reporting, but generating and distributing individual reports had to happen automatically.
What changed
- Report content follows the entitlement to grant funds and the requirements that come with it.
- Figures are presented so they can be passed directly to the respective donor.
- Reports are available weekly as PDF and XLS files on the network drive.
- The implementation partner handled the design and rollout of the project.
