Become a utilization hero
Utilization is a multi-dimensional challenge for professional services organizations. A seemingly positive utilization rate can hide a host of fundamental shortcomings. At full throttle you might be able to travel quickly, but for how far will you go? Staff may be available, but are they appropriate? Without the context that having 360° project and pipeline visibility provides, your ability to respond, grow and retain key staff is compromised. A comprehensive solution lets you recognize and deploy specialist skills at the same time as planning for soon-to-be-signed deals. The ability to assess, analyze and adapt is the key to continuous improvement – and therefore to your success. Integrated solutions can deliver real-time insight into your project cycles, help you optimize utilization rates and increase profitability – at the same time as increasing employee satisfaction. You'll assign the right people in the right projects at the right time – without burning out your most valuable resource. Optimize staff utilization, manage teams around the world and become a Utilization Hero with UNIT4 Business World ERP for Professional Services. A scalable, people-centric ERP to track and forecast projects, allocate the right people to the right places, and boost profitability – what’s not for the whole team to love?
