Spaulding Ridge Picks Certinia for Resource Optimization

We looked at a number of vendors in the marketplace such as NetSuite OpenAir and Kantata. For us, Certinia was the clear leader. What instilled confidence in the solution was seeing our own clients’ success within their services businesses. Since launching PS Cloud we drove our utilization up significantly. We are looking to adopt Certinia’s Services CPQ and CS Cloud next.

When implementing a PSA solution, the primary objective for their services delivery team was to have a solution that gave them the ability to react and adapt as needed quickly. Getting their crucial business metrics on one platform gives them the agility they require as projects and timelines shift. They chose Certinia based upon informed IT, Operations and other key personas within the organization to ensure it met their functional and technical requirements. 

Spaulding evaluated Oracle NetSuite and Kantata but found Certinia to be the clear leader. After launching Certinia the biggest improvement was ensuring their realization targets were met.
