挑战
Control Risks was relying upon several disparate systems and manual processes to manage their global risk management consultancy across five continents. This approach yielded no comprehensive handle on customers, project costing, resource utilization – and most critically, no metrics on overall corporate performance. The management team at Control Risks knew that in order to grow the business according to plan and drive increased margin across the business, they needed to implement a single solution across the organization to improve margins, plan and execute projects in a more standardized way and more effectively manage costs.

Additionally, they built integration between AX and their existing Microsoft CRM system, which added significant value and helped streamline processes further. The integration allowed for a seamless flow of information between the systems, enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of their operations.

Flex Contact Center, a professional services company offering telesales, call-center, anti-attrition, back-office, helpdesk and collection services, has grown rapidly since its establishment in 2009.

PureFluent: Connecting to partners and customers through the cloud for enhanced productivity
PureFluent, a translation services company, was facing challenges in managing its translation and document review processes. The company often received files in uneditable formats from customers, which required staff members to transfer text to word processing or spreadsheet documents. During the translation process, maintaining version control was a challenge because PureFluent sent work to hundreds of translators in multiple geographic locations. It was also time-consuming for staff to manage the large volume of emails and FTP transactions required to submit translations for customer review and ensure the integration of requested changes. Furthermore, staff were spending significant time hunting through their emails for specific attachments.
