"Before Diver, the information was there, but to get at it required a series of procedures that took many hours, and it was difficult to find accurate information. It was almost impossible to do year over year comparisons, because we have a UNIX based character cell system using flat file databases. The tables are large, so queries to gather data would take a long time. Diver has significantly improved the way we look at our business metrics."
