Promys

Pat Mancuso from Rycom

Before Promys PSA we had Salesforce.com for CRM & quoting, Remedy for Help Desk and PM’s used MS Project or Excel spreadsheets. The disconnects between those software products meant we were constantly re-keying data and having to pull data from multiple systems to create management reports, which always seemed out of date. It was difficult to get good visibility into Job Costing, Managed Service Contract profitability or cycle lessons learned from one department to another. Promys brought all of those modules and data together in one system, which has made our employees much more efficient and effective. Promys PSA has given our management team great visibility into line of business profitability and profitability leaks.

Intuitive solution with little training. Solid support from the Promys team with rapid response and resolution of issues as they arise. Very flexible in resolving unique issues as they arise.

Terri Buchanan from BridgeTek Solutions LLC

We are functioning better than ever after the Promys implementation and our team wants to recognize Promys for their efforts in making BridgeTek’s implementation a success. Promys serves as the backbone to our operations and I can’t imagine where we would be without it.

To continue to grow we needed better dynamic real-time views into sales opportunities and revenue forecasts, billable staff time and project profitability. We were also spending a lot of time manually coordinating resource schedules and order fulfillment information via e-mail and shared calendars. The Promys PSA software allowed us to address all of those issues in one software solution and set a strong foundation for our continued growth.

I looked at all the major PSA/Business software solutions before selecting PROMYS. Most were strong at managing the Help Desk, tracking work assignments and Time Sheets, but PROMYS was the only solution that was equally strong in CRM, Quoting, Project Management, Project Costing and tracking customer inventory/assets under support contract, along with the traditional PSA Service Management functionality.

That strength across our different lines of business was really important to us, since the majority of our customers are looking for a one stop shop, an IT solution provider partner who can provide them with Cloud solutions, Managed Services, Project based solutions, as well as break-fix support. PROMYS allows us to service our customers equally well in all of those different areas.

Israel Labadie from LOEM Inc.

Pros: Real-time visibility into:
- Project profitability (mid-project cost against budget)
- Resource utilization
- Resource forecasting

Powerful reporting analytics for:
- Margin (by Manufacturer, Line of Business, by Customer, etc.)
- Labor Analysis
- Revenue, Margin & Labor forecasting

Responsive Customer Service:
- Very good response and resolve times
- Very knowledgeable implementation and support staff

Cons: Multi-language support could be better (2014 version is supposed to address this).

Overall: Having real-time visibility into project profitability, resource utilization and resource forecasting has allowed us to stay on top of current projects, both from a customer satisfaction and project profitability perspective, as well as better plan for future projects.

Rich Truche from High Point Solutions

Pros: Fantastic margin reporting and analytics across projects, customers and products
Very strong Project Management and Labor Analysis capabilities
Good Help Desk and Service Contract management functionality
Proactive customer support
Very structured implementation approach that drove industry best practices and user adoption

Cons: Integration with Sage X3 is very strong, but took slightly longer than expected
Initially it was hard to get our executive team to look at PROMYS because it's less well known than the big two PSA's.


Overall: In another life I was a power user of one of the more heavily marketed PSA's, so I'm very familiar with that tool¿s capabilities. We did a very deep dive evaluating PROMYS compared to several other solutions. It was clear very early in the evaluation, that for a Cisco Gold partner our size, PROMYS was a far better fit than traditional PSA's. PROMYS is significantly stronger from a forecasting & planning perspective and provides far better visibility into mid-project profitability. Margin and profitability reporting are in a completely different class. PROMYS didn't just "win" our PSA evaluation, for a business our size, the traditional PSA's weren't even options any more.

Peter McKenzie from Vodigo

We've been on the PROMYS PSA software for a year now and the customer support has been fantastic. the support team is responsive, knowledgeable and very proactive in ensuring we're getting most out of the software functionality.

PROMYS has seamless integration between their CRM, Opportunity, Quotation and Sales Order, PM and Help Desk modules. This not only virtualy elminates re-keying info, it provides management with excellent real-time visibility into all aspects of the business.

I was very impressed by the PROMYS implementation methodology. The business consultants we worked with were knowledgeable and experienced. They engaged with the key players in my organization to understand our company and tailored the PROMYS configuration to our specific needs.

Michael Lynsday from L2K

We selected the Promys PSA software in order to help us make profitable growth decisions by providing real-time visibility into resource and revenue forecasting, mid-project profitability and detailed company margin analytics. The Managed IT Service solutions that we deliver to our clients allow them to focus on their core competencies and leave managing their IT infrastructure to us. But in our own business, our previous business software (Connectwise) was becoming a distraction to running our business. Instead of the business enabler we had hoped for when first implemented, slow system response and support issues were consuming way too much time and attention. We have very aggressive growth plans so we needed to select a system that would not only support our current needs, but one that would handle the increasing complexity of our company as our growth continues. With Promys, we know that no matter how aggressively we grow, we won¿t outgrow our software infrastructure, so now we can go back to focusing on growing and managing our business, as opposed to managing our business software.
