Virtual Roundtable
In today’s technology driven world, it’s critical that service companies have a true connected company. From sales to project closure – the right project management tools are essential in creating data views that facilitate a successful project from start to finish. It starts with CRM and the project management solution that then integrates with the ERP foundation. Integrating the workforce, project insights and mobility to thrive in the digital era is critical.
However, the unfortunate reality is that most service companies still use old, time-consuming and very manual techniques to find data and transform it into the format they need. In addition, they have too many tools used by too many disparate staff in too many silos without enough connection to their workers to give them the tools they need to perform in today’s evermore tech-heavy and complex cloud-based world.
Modern services companies are solving these problems and more by integrating their solutions and Business Intelligence tools while also considering AI and IOT solutions to extend their view even further.
