Solidaridad

The challenge for Solidaridad

Time consuming disparate accounting systems

Prior to Certinia, Solidaridad ran its global accounting processes on 30 disparate accounting systems. Global teams could not be managed over their offices efficiently, creating data gaps and inconsistent processes. 

Their primary pain points were:

• Severe system fragmentation: Operating across 30 separate accounting applications created deep data gaps across international operations.
• Time-intensive global management: Managing workflows manually across intercontinental office locations drained significant administrative time.
• Obscured project expenses:Siloed software systems made it difficult for local project managers to accurately track project-related expenses.
• Fragmented success reporting: Reviewing and reporting on the specific performance and success of individual projects was highly challenging.
• Restricted strategic visibility: Working without centralized operational metrics kept leadership from easily making data-driven choices.
• Isolated database infrastructure: Critical financial details and metrics remained completely disconnected from the primary Salesforce framework.

Realizing an immediate need for change, the organization needed a way to unify all accounting and project data, they found this with Certinia.
