In this year of uncertainty, nearly every organization has been forced to make swift decisions and dramatic business adjustments. Certinia’s Winter 2021 release includes highly anticipated functionality for today’s environment.
More granularity, more accuracy
Revenue forecasting has become more crucial, and more challenging than ever. The just-launched Winter 2021 release of Certinia Professional Services Automation (PSA) was built specifically to help–with its newly optimized revenue forecasting features for services-centric organizations. Service leaders will be empowered to deliver predictable revenue results, operationalize the forecast process, and make faster and more informed decisions about resource capacity and scheduling.
The Winter release introduces an added layer of flexibility and granularity to the already robust revenue forecasting capabilities in Certinia PSA. Services leaders use analytics dashboards to track revenue, billing, and margin health in real-time and achieve visibility into every dollar planned and every dollar recognized. With this release, you can now apply scenario-based adjustments down to the project, milestone, and opportunity record which drives precision and trust in forward-looking forecasts. Adjustments can be time-bound and date-based to visualize where revenue has moved from/to–essential for service delivery work that is delayed or postponed.
Embedded analytics are also now available so you can easily perform forecast comparisons. Additionally, services forecasting includes support for multi-currency environments allowing you to toggle between corporate currency and local currency.
The added flexibility and granularity of the services forecasting makes for more accurate and trustworthy predictions, ultimately bringing more actionable insights.
Bank statement integration with Plaid

The integration is especially useful for organizations that have several bank accounts or entities where manually reconciling or mapping CSV files for each bank can be a time-consuming task. With the integration to Plaid, this is now all automated which makes it even faster and easier for Certinia users to accurately reconcile accounts.
