Inplenion Business Consulting Chooses Tenrox Cloud-Based Professional Services Automation to Help Keep Pace With Growth

Glendale, California - February 6, 2012

Zurich-based Inplenion Business Consulting has selected Tenrox cloud-based professional services automation (Tenrox Cloud PSA) to help improve project financial reporting and resource scheduling. With 30 employees and offices in Zurich, Frankfurt, Geneva and Dubai, Inplenion is implementing Tenrox’s Project Planning, Time & Expense, Project Cost & Billing, Resource Management & Scheduling, Work Process Management and Reporting & Analytics modules.

Inplenion is a leading Business Performance Management solutions provider. They assess, design and implement strategic, financial and business intelligence solutions for well-known international organizations around the globe and across all industries, including financial services, pharmaceuticals, telecom, and oil and gas.

“As our client list and scope of projects continue to expand, we are excited about using Tenrox to help us develop our infrastructure so we can continue offering the excellent customer service and project results our clients expect,” said Tamara Donnelly, senior consultant.

Until now, Inplenion had been handling project management manually through spreadsheets, phone calls and emails. As the company has staff located in several countries, coordinating the setup of larger-scale projects could require two people up to two weeks. “As our projects became larger in scope, the limitations of tracking our projects and available resources in spreadsheets became more prominent, by affecting our ability to quickly and accurately bid for potential new projects and assess the overall profitability of current individual projects,” Donnelly explained.

Inplenion chose Tenrox Cloud PSA because of its comprehensive features and capabilities. These include:

• An end-to-end solution that allows Inplenion to track projects from the moment they enter the sales pipeline through to client billing and analytics at completion.
• Full multi-currency support allows international projects to adapt to local currency requirements for billing and expense reimbursement.
• Ease of integration with other back-end solutions. For Inplenion, this includes Oracle Hyperion Strategic Finance and exporting data for use in Abacus, the company’s accounting software.

An additional selling point for the company was Tenrox’s graphical workflows. “Developing structure and processes that are clear is not an easy task. As we grow and require a more formal organizational structure, the visual workflows are a great asset that will help us refine our work processes. A picture is worth a thousand words. Visual workflows make it simpler for personnel to understand the processes and begin to use them more quickly and effectively,” Donnelly said.
