As April 15th passes by and we are all pushed to either file extension on our tax commitments or do your final filing, I thought I would share a story about our Vice President of Operations. As many of us know in business the nightmare of consistent systems can spell the end of your efficiency and effectiveness. Many of you know that I am a big user of Netsuite Software and a big fan, but I think the story of our accounting practices rubbing off on our production team is telling. Last year we move our entire web and search engine team to Netsuite for all of their project management tracking and time entry. The ability for Blue Tent to now measure project profits is amazing. Talk about closing the loop! With our monthly reporting system, we now see what customers and what project types yield us the best profit margins. We can then look at our utilization reports by employee and see who our “money Player” is and who needs to pick their game up! In today’s business software world, it’s hard to say what the best route is for you. I can say with confidence the ability to have our accounting and business operations software talk to each other is an amazing thing for both revenue and people management.
