Fast-Growing IT Services Provider Adds $550,000 in “New Profits” with Implementation of Autotask IT Services Management Software
Red Square Systems, a fast-growing IT services company based in Western Penn., “added” $550,000 in “new profits” - without increasing sales - by implementing Autotask IT Services Management Software to streamline its cash flow and project management processes.
Rensselaer, NY (PRWEB) May 9, 2005 -- Red Square Systems, a fast-growing IT
services company based in Western Penn., “added” $550,000 in “new profits” -
without increasing sales - by implementing Autotask IT Services Management
Software to streamline its cash flow and project management processes.
Red Square Systems, a highly successful six-year-old IT consulting and
services company that offers network infrastructure support, business consulting
and applications, saw its growth slow as the firm's executives struggled to
manage their internal business processes – particularly in the area of
accurately and efficiently tracking, capturing and billing the time their teams
invested on their clients' projects.
Not only did the situation strain
Red Square's cash flow, but the lack of timely, project-based management
information threatened to affect customer satisfaction and team morale as well.
After an extensive review of their business process management system, Red
Square officials identified the root problem to a series of disconnects or “air
gaps” in their patchwork of internal management solutions, which included
Salesforce.com, MS Project, AmberCAT, QuickBooks, and a Microsoft Access-based
home grown application.
In place of the patchworked system, Red Square
executives determined the firm required a single, integrated, reliable,
enterprise-wide system for logging and setting up engagements, tracking progress
against milestones, monitoring resources, and capturing billable time. After
extensive research and evaluation, Red Square officials chose web-based Autotask
IT Services Management Software from Autotask Corporation, Rensselaer, NY (http://www.autotask.com).
Autotask’s flexibility to manage the VAR's project-driven business process and
versatility to handle data across all functions ensured that data would no
longer fall through the cracks so billable time could be more accurately
captured – and invoiced.
According to Red Square president Ian James,
Autotask “integrates seamlessly” with his firm's existing and well-established
workflow policies. “Moreover, the implementation of Autotask at Red Square
resulted in an enormous reduction in the amount of “billable time” that went
uninvoiced – or was invoiced late – and as a result added $550,000 in increased
profits in the first year,” he said.
“The implementation and resulting
improvement in our overall business process and project management also directly
– and dramatically – improved our customer satisfaction, enhanced our overall
teamwork and morale,” James added.
