London (PRWEB UK) 18 September 2013
AccountAbility today announces Grayling has chosen to roll out AccountAbilityTM, a leading cloud job management and accounting solution, across their global network.
The cloud solution is currently being used by Grayling, the world’s second largest independent PR consultancy, in nine countries, with a plan to roll it out to a further 19 countries across the UK, Europe, CCE and the US within the next 12 months. Previously the Grayling group of companies used several disparate systems that were not able to meet their needs.
Grayling has experienced significant integration over the past few years, AccountAbilityTM delivers the functionality they require as a global agency. The fully integrated solution facilitates the management of global business structures and includes an outstanding multi currency capability. Eliminating the need for different systems, AccountAbilityTM allows the company to consolidate information and report across their entire network with full reporting capabilities including job, production time, resourcing, financials and in particular profitability. The all important revenue tracker, has for the first time, given the Global CFO the ability to track global client revenues in real time, giving him a single source of the truth.
Grayling selected AccountAbilityTM on its strength as a solution built specifically for the marketing communications sector as well as it being a cloud technology that meets the complex needs of a modern agency. The ease and speed of implementation was a key factor, as was the total cost of ownership. The solution offers full functionality with an intuitive interface, allowing ease of use to any level of user across the business.
“We were looking for a fully integrated system that could fit the needs of our global business. AccountAbilityTM was an easy decision for us as it was built specifically for agencies and works seamlessly across the entire network. We operate our business on a very lean cost structure so finding a cost effective solution with all the functionality was critical for us. We also had to be mindful of integrating with our parent company, Huntsworth, and their reporting tools Cognos and TM1, which AccountAbilityTM does with ease. AccountAbilityTM has already demonstrated their capability to work closely with us in both development and the support they give us.” James Holland, Global CFO, Grayling.
“We are delighted to be working with Grayling. Their decision to implement the solution across their network of agencies is a great endorsement of AccountAbilityTM. Our cloud solution and the comprehensive support we offer meets the needs of their business today and in the future. To adopt a cloud based solution shows that they are a forward thinking agency. We are excited to be working with Grayling to make the rollout an outstanding success and are proud to add them to our ever growing list of clients, demonstrating the suitability of AccountAbilityTM for Enterprise clients,” said Terry McMillan, Founder and Designer, AccountAbilityTM.
