We love sharing our customers' successes through case studies, like this recent case study with Burns & McDonnell. Burns & McDonnell, a 100% employee-owned family of companies, is an architecture, engineering, and construction organization. 

For many years, Burns & McDonnell used Excel spreadsheets to manage tech spend and budgeting. Leaders exchanged spreadsheets within the company to gather input, and then data was consolidated and adjusted by Finance before submission for approval. This process created several challenges. Budgets were primarily accounting-focused; therefore, there was very little information about true technology costs, or how they could properly optimize and cut costs. When budget variances ultimately occurred, Finance struggled to explain why, because there was no insight about what went into the numbers in the spreadsheets.

The solution combines tech costs with actual usage data, attributes costs to departments based on their industry-leading allocation models and delivers self-service reporting features that allow users to view key insights to help them make better decisions.
