Article 02.27.2018 Dean Dorton

For service-based companies, fast answers, reliability, and market strategy are critical to business growth and stability. Reliability offers strong service to the clients you already have, fast answers motivate today’s potential clients, and market strategy invigorates new business for a bright future.

A strong MSP business inspired to grow can find support in these key areas by working in the cloud.

The Cloud Leverages Up-to-Date Information

On-premises systems may very well offer the data your teams need, but that data is useless if your teams in the field can’t access it.

When companies work from the cloud, field teams can leverage company data to deliver service or seal a deal faster than a team that can provide the information “when they get back to the office.”  

The Cloud Maximizes Independence and Productivity

When your people have real-time data and detailed information about client projects, and company services, they are free to work more quickly.

With the cloud, accounting departments streamline month-end closings and reporting because their financial data is always being updated in their systems, which means faster, more accurate output.  

Also, field teams work more independently because company information travels right with them, wherever they go. Deals close faster. Important project information populates in the system in real time so everyone on the project has access to critical data more quickly.

Cloud technology streamlines the business from every angle, saving MSPs hours of time and effort.

The Cloud Optimizes Your Dependability

The most dependable systems are the ones that no one has to worry about.

Reliability and data security are critical- especially when it comes to your client’s information. When MSPs secure their data with the right cloud-based financial management system like Sage Intacct, security is already taken care of, and so are software and maintenance updates – all behind the scenes.

MSP companies that work in the cloud boost their service dependability and can rest knowing client data is safe and secure.

For MSPs, Sage Intacct, a best-in-class cloud-based financial management solution, offers:

  • 24/7 up-to-date dashboard reporting that your teams can access from anywhere to strengthen market strategies, and work in the field more productively.
  • An award-winning API that integrates with other best-in-class cloud solutions for flawless client data transfer, accurate operational data, and enhanced project management.
  • Real-time, automated financial management features that streamline book closings, eliminate spreadsheets, speed reporting and invoicing, and simplify time and expense entry.

Sage Intacct cloud-based financial management means faster, leaner, more accurate processes to support your service-based business as it grows.

“Sage Intacct has given us the ability to focus on our technology, making it work for us,” says Tom Major, CFO of Clearpointe and Sage Intacct customer. “The financial reporting and dashboards have been transformative for our business.

Whether your company has one location or many, because the cloud offers financial management flexibility, it’s the ideal environment for companies that anticipate growth.

Contact us. We want to help you find the right financial management solution that will empower your teams as your business grows.
