How Collegis Accellerated their operation and maintains their speed with a little help from the experts at VFP

Collegis accelerated their business by building out their Quote to Cash processes on the Salesforce platform with FinancialForce Professional Services Automation (PSA). From getting buy in from the team, to the processes put in place, to product optimization and adoption – all critical KPIs were met within weeks and months – not years.

Putting the dashboards and reports in place starts to change the tone of decision making – putting the right information in the right hands at the right time. Discussions around capacity and demand become easier. Forecasting becomes more efficient and the data more trustworthy. Decisions become driven by data instead of hunches.

Now comes a different challenge: maintaining your new solution and scaling it as your business evolves and matures. How do you stay current with the best FinancialForce has to offer? How do you avoid painting yourself into a corner as you enhance the system to meet the changing needs of the business?

The options are to build internal skills to keep evolution in-house, or bring on a variety of skills and expertise for all of the ins-and-outs of FinancialForce administration. Especially when your needs will likely be less than an FTE hire, you can still make sure your implementation continues to evolve and run at peak performance.
