Overall Satisfaction with Workfront
Workfront has been used within our professional services organization to support training and consulting project delivery. We have managed the order to cash portions of the business within Workfront. The primary problems it has helped with are project and time tracking, system of record for project delivery activities and to prepare and record revenue recognition/Invoicing for services performed.
- Project and task assignments
- Hour and effort tracking
- User Management
- Professional Services resource planning/scheduling
- Revenue Forecasting
- Fewer tabs and sections
- Increased transparency and reporting on actual hours required to deliver
- Dynamic central repository for all consulting and training projects
- Easy and flexible user management
Workfront was much more user-friendly, scalable and useful than Microsoft Project. We subsequently replaced a custom tool that had been created in-house. FinancialForce had a better integration with our CRM tool and was better at resourcing, scheduling, and forecasting.
