SAN JOSE, CA, Aug 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Intacct, a leader in on-demand financial management and accounting
applications, today announced that nGenera is using Intacct Plus(TM) to
manage its growing global business. The Intacct financial management
system enables nGenera to accommodate rapid growth without adding
resources to its finance team and to gain a single, consolidated view of
its business to improve financial decision making.
nGenera, based in Austin, Texas, helps companies leverage collaboration
capabilities, Web 2.0 technologies and on-demand software to improve their
business. With heavy demand for its products and services since its
founding in late 2006, the company grew quickly -- both organically and
through acquisitions. In fact, nGenera acquired six companies in just
eighteen months. The company originally used QuickBooks(R) to track
accounts payable and accounts receivable; however, as their business grew
rapidly and they began acquiring companies and operating internationally,
it became clear to nGenera that they needed to graduate from QuickBooks to
a financial management system designed for global business management.
"With the tremendous growth and fast-changing circumstances we were
facing, we had heavy demands for a new finance application," said Jim
Tipton, managing director of finance at nGenera. "We explored our options
in great detail, and ultimately decided on Intacct. Intacct offered us
the best of breed approach we wanted, and we were confident that they
would work well with our existing salesforce.com CRM applications."
"While QuickBooks is a great product for small businesses, growing
companies like nGenera all eventually need to graduate to a more advanced
system," said Daniel Druker, senior vice president of marketing and
business development at Intacct. "Mid-sized companies that require robust
global business management capabilities have historically found themselves
stuck in the chasm between QuickBooks and high-cost, complex, on-premises
financial management software from companies like Oracle and SAP.
Intacct's Software as a Service financial applications offer a compelling
solution that is better, faster, cheaper, and can scale with them from
'Life after QuickBooks' to going public and beyond."
Intacct Plus provides nGenera with a complete on-demand financial
management system for global business management. The company manages its
finances in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom from a single, central
location. Rich financial consolidation and multi-company management
capabilities ensure nGenera can roll up its international subsidiaries
with its U.S. operations, and view consolidated financial statements
securely and in real time. The Intacct system also allows nGenera to
manage finances in local currencies and then automatically takes into
account fluctuating currency rates as it consolidates finances up to the
corporate level.
"With Intacct, even as a mid-sized company, we're able to cost effectively
take advantage of all the financial controls that only large organizations
have in the past had access to. The efficiencies we've gained with Intacct
Plus help us accommodate organic growth without adding resources to the
finance team," commented Tipton. "Even better, we've now got a single view
into our business, across departments and geographic regions -- enabling
us to more effectively manage our finances to support our long-term
strategic objectives."
Intacct Becomes the Hub of nGenera's Application Ecosystem
With Intacct MAX(TM) for Salesforce, nGenera has connected its
salesforce.com CRM applications with Intacct financials. Now, customer and
financial information is automatically and continuously synchronized
between Salesforce and Intacct. This halts duplicate data entry,
significantly shortens the company's lead-to-cash process, eliminates the
need for order management staffing and gives both sales and finance the
information they need to make better business decisions.
The company also uses Intacct for professional services automation to
track time and billing, as well as enter client expenses. This solution
provides detailed business information for project estimates, and allows
the company to track projects, control costs and manage project resources
from start to finish. The system has enabled nGenera to create custom
employee expense hierarchies and establish approval processes. Now all
users have a single point of log in to track their time and create and
manage expense reports.
Through Intacct and its partners, nGenera is leveraging best of breed
front- and back-office applications as a single integrated on-demand
solution. With Intacct as the hub of their on-demand application
ecosystem, nGenera has a constant pulse on income and expenses, and
information is more easily shared across the organization.
"It's incredible to have all of our critical business applications
seamlessly integrated and on-demand," said Tipton. "Intact provides us
faster access to information, such as revenue projections, cash flow and
accounts payable and receivable, simply because all of our business
entities are on one system. Information that used to take days to find is
now accessible within minutes."
