Aberdeen Group
“It used to take us 20 minutes to do reports, now it only takes two minutes. NaviSite recognized the importance of an improved billing process and they worked with us to achieve significant gains. With our access to industry background and information on IT companies, we felt NaviSite’s one-stop approach to managed business services, implementation methodologies and organizational structure offers a solid business model and the best choice to help us meet our long term goals. With a member of their team dedicated to understanding our current and future business needs, NaviSite demonstrated the ability to not only implement and host the applications, but to continually manage them over time.”

Challenge
- Aberdeen’s existing financial solution did not provide the sophisticated reporting capabilities that a consulting organization like Aberdeen required
- The IT staff also needed to be focused on generating functions around its core business, not in managing and supporting a financial solution
Solution
- Microsoft Great Plains solution implemented, hosted and managed by NaviSite
- Modules include System Manager, General Ledger, Payables Management, Receivables Management, Bank Reconciliation, Integration Manager, and Fixed Assets
Results
- Streamlined Aberdeen’s reporting processes from 20 to two minutes
- Enables Aberdeen to service the accounting departments of all its U.S. offices from a single location
