Below are the highlights of the interview conducted between Peter and Insights Success:
What are the cutting-edge automation solutions/services offered by Cloud Coach?
Our solution is built with best practice processes that businesses of any type can adapt and follow. Each process has built-in automation that can be called when specific business criteria are met, such as automatically creating a project based on the right template when a sales opportunity closes, keeping everyone in the business on the same page.
Describe the experiences, achievements or lessons learned that have shaped the journey of the company.
From the design of the very first line of code, we always knew we wanted to build a scalable solution that could handle many thousands of concurrent users on any specific day, and that influences every decision that we make around the product. The one thing that has surprised us along the way is the way people use the product outside of its intended use case and having to accommodate those thoughts in the design process.
What are the challenges faced while providing automation solutions and how is Cloud Coach serving to tackle them?
In a professional services business, where the salary (and overhead) cost of employees is one of the biggest expenses, being able to drive efficiency across a team’s daily activities has a huge impact on a company’s bottom line. What we aim to do is design our product so that it takes a user (no matter what their role is) the minimum amount of time to get their job done, saving them time and their company money.
What according to you could be the potential future of services automation and how does Cloud Coach envision sustaining its competency? The current generation of Professional Services Automation (PSA) tools relies heavily on the reporting capability targeted at management, which often leaves the end-users dissatisfied with their user experience, as they navigate slow and cumbersome screens with a lot of wasted time.
Cloud Coach, have noticed this disconnect, seeks to fill the gap with our next-generation management and reporting PSA tool, which delivers a fantastic experience for end users saving them considerable time each day, while still giving the management all the great reporting they need, such as project profitability, utilization, and revenue recognition metrics.
