“Seamless integration between the system of record (PSA) for managing resources and projects and the financial management solution for payroll, expense management, invoicing, revenue recognition and project accounting is critical,” said Jeanne Urich, managing director at SPI Research. “As the world economy has shifted to a new “as a service” mindset, today’s accounting, CRM and PSA systems must support a whole new range of contracting, pricing, staffing and billing models. The new breed of cloud-based project-based ERP vendors, like Certinia, have built in support for multi-element contracts and subscription billing from the get-go.”
