Challenges

  • Fragmented environment of QuickBooks, Excel and Act! contact management made it difficult to find information, monitor key metrics and make sound business decisions.
  • Lack of security in the critical data made the business vulnerable to errors or bad decisions.
  • Growth opportunities and productivity suffered with the need for KnowledgeNet personnel to manually piece together data across disparate systems.
  • Previous on-premise applications lacked the scalability and functional scope needed to efficiently grow the business.

  • Customisation capability and reporting flexibility have been instrumental in enabling KnowledgeNet to make the most of its cloud solution.
