Objectives

Save time and remove workflow inefficiencies in the FP&A team.

Guarantee quality and accuracy across all deliverables.

Remove the risk of human error in recurring reports.

Context

American Tower is a US-based real estate investment trust that deploys and supports wireless networks in 25 countries across six continents.

 

Their FP&A team spend a significant amount of time in Microsoft 365 producing regular reports on earnings, forecasting, budgeting and more – most of which are between 100-200 slides.

It’s a really intuitive tool to master, and extremely capable for the type of work the FP&A team do in PowerPoint. I’ve used other software across my career and none of them have delivered the same efficiency returns as UpSlide.

Challenge

Historically, the reporting process at American Tower was heavily manual. Employees would copy-paste key data from Excel to PowerPoint, and review documents line-by-line in print form before sharing to senior leadership.

 

With earnings, forecasting and budgeting reports all taking place at once, the team soon identified the risk and inefficiency of relying on this manual work, as well as the impact it was having on employee wellbeing.

 

Constantly faced with tight deadlines, they sought a solution to enable them to maintain both the quality and the quantity of their deliverables in PowerPoint and Excel.

UpSlide's Power BI integration, enabling the quick embedding of live Power BI data into reports, ensuring real-time updates and dynamic visualizations.

With the limited hours in a day and the capacity within our team, achieving our deliverables would be challenging without UpSlide.
