Centerstance is closing the loop between sales, project delivery and accounting to help them sell, deliver and bill projects collaboratively while leveraging the scalability, flexibility, and TCO advantages of the world’s leading cloud platform. Having a single system to manage sales and service is enabling their services teams to base their decisions on the same data, in real time, so decision-making is efficient and effective. Resources are managed more effectively across customer projects and access to past, current and future project information in one system allows them to make better short term and long term decisions, which positively impact their customers, team, and business.

“We make a living by ensuring the delivery of ROI on the IT strategies we recommend to our clients,” said John Marshall, Managing Director of Delivery, Centerstance. “Where companies integrate systems across business processes in the cloud and data silos are eradicated, they see huge value through better collaboration and more visibility over customer care and team performance, which is vital for professional services firms. We are confident in our strategy and believe that truly integrated systems, that share the same cloud development ethos, can deliver significant advantage.”

The best professional services organizations have a clear strategy, with well synchronized teams, operating in a coordinated and collaborative environment. Despite this, many professional services organizations struggle to align their underlying systems and processes to support their strategies and truly create a collaborative workplace. The impact of a siloed approach on utilization and profitability was exposed in research conducted recently by Service Performance Insight (SPI Research), a research and consulting organization dedicated to benchmarking the performance of professional services organizations. It showed that the Top 5% firms benefit from integrated systems and report almost double the revenue growth and more than 250% higher net profit than the benchmark average. They also report a high level of customer referenceability.

Centerstance is one of several leading services firms that have recently selected FinancialForce PSA. Other PSA customers include: IMS Health, NAV Canada, Maxwell Systems and Convio Inc.
