"The most rewarding aspect of Salient’s work was that they listened to our goals and then acted upon them within business constraints that we defined. I give them a ‘10 out of 10’ for their work on our project that was on-time and within budget."

Salient has constructed an exceptional HSSE dashboard with IBM Cognos that allows our company to transform the Environmental Health and Safety data into meaningful information. It is a pleasure to work with someone with extensive knowledge on how to design an interactive dashboard.

“We engaged Salient to design and deploy our enterprise-wide Business Intelligence Reporting Solution. Their contribution proved invaluable in terms of achieving our targeted goals. Salient has clearly demonstrated an excellent understanding of our needs and their solution has resulted in over 30% time savings by our department. I would highly recommend them!”

"As a result of the quickly changing economic climate, we were faced with the need to develop a solution for more effective analysis of the nature of our investments in inventory and the impact of the unpredictable sales outlook for the aftermarket parts segment of the transportation sector. We turned to Salient Software for the resource and background that we needed for this project. They were very helpful in steering us through some “design on the fly” and worked well with our staff to bring this project to conclusion in a very timely basis. In addition, they worked with us to improve existing sales analysis structures and created a platform that serves well as the basis for our own continued internal development. Salient brought all of the right resources to the table to satisfy our requirements and produce a very effective solution."

"We brought in Salient to implement Cognos BI in an effort to bridge the gap between our highly customized ERP solution and our need to create dynamic on-the-fly reports. Not only was the Salient team able to quickly grasp the intricacies of our system and develop the reports and cubes requested, they also took the time to guide us towards a more robust final solution without increasing the costs of the overall implementation. Our impression was that from the initial engagement through the final project close out and end-user training, Salient truly was driven by the desire to please the customer and made every effort to do so. The team deployed to our project was intelligent, organized, hard working, highly effective, and turned out an exceptional product well beyond our expectations."

“My organization contacted Salient last year to assist us with the implementation and upgrade to Cognos8 BI. The consultants from Salient took the time to understand our processes and were very well informed. During the upgrade they handled all of our reporting needs, providing solutions with ease and additional training. They made the transference of knowledge a fun and seamless process. Salient continues to provide my company with support and we are still very pleased with their level of professionalism and knowledge. I would definitely recommend their services.”

“I was impressed with the quality of the Cognos Training delivered by Salient. Their Certified Cognos Trainer used hands-on workshops and detailed training materials to deliver it. The training was held at our offices and this was a highly cost-effective way to impart customized training to our 12 member team. Salient delivered on its promise.”

“I wanted to let you know that the Cognos class went very well ! The instructor’s teaching style as well as the ability to teach onsite outside of the comforts of the Cognos typical environment were outstanding. Even dealing with the continuous VPN drops and the Network outage, he handled with ease and humor. He covered everything with the appropriate attention and moved the class along at both a comfortable and appropriate pace to finish all of the material.”
