Our clients in the public and private sectors rely on CherryRoad’s extensive financials expertise to help them optimize results from their Financial Management Systems. Our strategic, implementation, and upgrade services deliver significant improvements in risk management, corporate accountability, regulatory compliance, decision support, and budget control. CherryRoad has successfully completed hundreds of Financials implementations and upgrades. In addition, our consultants offer proven track records in new modules and functionality, including Budgeting, Global Consolidation, Business Planning and Forecasting, Data Warehousing, eProcurement, Grants, and Commitment Control.
For example, CherryRoad implemented a Financials system for Napa County, California, and then several years later assisted with their upgrade. The ongoing benefits are numerous. The system has enabled Napa to better control its commitments and expenditures by automatically checking them against predefined authorized budgets. In addition, with web-based applications and CherryRoad’s expertise, Napa County can now embrace performance-based budgeting to improve internal accountability and control over revenues and expenditures. And, the improvements in precision and efficiency are dramatic. The County has cut the time it takes to prepare a highly accurate budget to present to citizens and state officials from months to weeks. Equally important, in times of budget cuts they’ve effectively maintained their critical services – and even increased them in some areas.
CherryRoad’s Financials expertise is also evident in our long-term partnership with Publicis Groupe, a leading advertising and communications conglomerate that comprises many companies and several hundred business units in 75 countries. Publicis (formerly the MacManus Group and Bcom3) had a critical need to replace its numerous homegrown, high-maintenance financial systems with unified data-sharing applications and interfaces across the enterprise. CherryRoad implemented a Financials system, effectively standardizing project costing, purchasing, payables, billing, accounts receivable, general ledger, and time and labor. The net result for this highly satisfied customer is an organization-wide system with robust financial capabilities, including multiple levels of real-time reporting.
