XPS

“We now have a single view of data, and you can get far more insight much quicker, and it creates real value. We’re pulling all our revenue and the timesheet data into Workbooks so we can surface all that revenue on clients and calculate the recovery rates.”

Nick Jackson

CRM Manager, XPS 

ECC

“Each individual consultant produced project plans on Excel – they all looked different, and each person was creating their own version of that. Moving to Workbooks gives us that consistent and clear project layout. You can easily download it and just send that to the client. And that just creates a consistent, professional approach for all the consultants to follow.”
