Challenges Prior to NetSuite

• Manual processes related to accounting and project management were time consuming.
• Lacked one system to house all information pertaining to their clients, which made running a professional services business more time consuming and less efficient than it should have been.

Results

• NetSuite implementation wrapped up near the end of 2010 at which point BAM Strategy saw the centralization of their company’s complex data.
• Client information (billing data, project history, etc) is now housed on one, easily accessible cloud-based platform.
• GURUS Solutions helped with the migration of data during the NetSuite implementation process so not to lose valuable historical information.
• Customizations have been made to NetSuite allowing BAM Strategy to have complex project tracking functions available to them.
• Detailed tracking and reporting on project components such as revenue associated with expenses and revenue associated with labour.
• Streamlined project creation to project closure, resulting in less overhead management of projects. 
• GURUS Solutions enhanced NetSuite’s time tracking features to gain better insight into revenue vs labour costs, as well as built a custom Vacation Tracking module.
• Simplified billing process, streamlining tasks for the accounting department and project managers.
