"Implementing new business information systems has been a radical change for the company and these new systems are now invaluable to us. Throughout the project we have built a good working relationship with Tahola and we like having the same individuals stay throughout the course of the project. They offer a good service and are not afraid to work hard for the client."

 David Radburn, Head of Business Systems, Caffè Nero Ltd

"The QlikView solution from Tahola allows us to analyse our members' behaviour like never before, and all at lightning speed.  This has revolutionised our marketing outlook, and has already had significant return on investment by reactivating members who had not visited for a couple of years as a direct result of specially tailoring offers."

 Ross White, Director of BI, TopGolf International

"Simon and his team helped move digital mountains to allow Blue Barracuda to quickly integrate QlikView into our systems.  Within a 3 week timespan we collated millions of customer information records from the last 5 years - across 4 databases and over 30 or so flat files, and integrated them into a comprehensive set of reports allowing up to the minute business analysis to tailor all future marketing activity.  We couldn't have done it without their guidance."

 Tom Bentley, Technical Director, Blue Barracuda (now draftFCB)

 "Tahola has an excellent understanding of the retail market and companies requirements for business information.  This has helped us understand what we need and ensured that we have the right system that is tailored to us.  I was sceptical at first but now realise the benefits of the system so much that I don't know how we coped before it was implemented.  Our investment was recovered in 6 months and we get daily information that can be trusted.  Dealing with Tahola is a 'real positive' as they respond quickly and are very good technically."

 Director, UK retailer

"Tahola have always been good at understanding our business and our industry which has meant any service they provide has always been well tailored to our requirements.  Tahola were very professional and offered a great support service. We had some issues during the project but found Tahola to be knowledgeable and always quick to educate us when required.

Cognos has proved to be invaluable to the business.  The large overhead we had in producing reporting and manually distributing the output through spreadsheets has all but disappeared with users now able to obtain reports through their own purpose built portal. This has meant that analysts are now much more focussed on value adding tasks.

We have used Tahola many times in the past and I would not hesitate to use them again."

 Rob Mills, Data Architect, Virgin Money

 "What is the first system I would put into a company, especially in a recession?  Cognos Planning.  To whom did we turn to get things moving? Tahola.  Their knowledge of the retail and hospitality sector was essential and we set them a challenging task.  So what have we achieved?  A truly powerful management and financial tool that has given our financiers the confidence to lend."

 Paul Bignell, Information Systems Manager, TCG Management Services Ltd  

"Holiday Taxis are a fast growing company, relying on a busy IT department to produce reports for the business.  We were looking for an effective solution to address our reporting needs that could be used by the business and take the strain off IT.  The recommended solution of Cognos 8 BI from Tahola provided this.  From the initial meeting with Tahola it was clear that they understood our business model and could provide what we needed.  Tahola implemented the system on time and on budget and whenever we've had any issues their support has been first class.  The finished solution had an immediate impact on the IT Department and the rest of the business.  It's early days yet, but we will monitor our ROI and expect to see a full return within 3 months." 

 Steve Dean, IT Director, Holiday Taxis Ltd

"Cognos is a wonderfully simple, yet very powerful tool that Herald and Times Group have adopted for management information and reporting all of its financial information.  Tahola provide a first class support and development service that is tailored to meet our needs.  Their team are quick and knowledgeable in identifying and resolving any issues we have.  The training provided has always been first class and our staff are confident and skilled as a result."
