PR firm Veritas Communications, 360 Visibility and WorkBook A/S reach new heights of innovation with the world’s first Professional Services Automation solution powered by Microsoft Azure in the cloud
Veritas’s selection of WorkBook v8.0 on Azure a revolutionary step in the cloud-based application world
Toronto, July 11, 2011 — After an exhaustive selection process that included the consideration of cloud and on-premise solutions, public relations firm Veritas Communications Inc. has signed on with 360 Visibility Inc. and the professional services automation solution, WorkBook v8.0.
The implementation of WorkBook v8.0 on Microsoft Azure is a world first, and the adoption of this ground-breaking PSA solution makes Veritas, whose client roster includes Expedia.ca and Church & Dwight, a pioneer in North America.
An All-in-One Cloud-Based Tool
WorkBook v8.0 is an all-in-one cloud-based executive management tool targeted specifically at professional services organizations for tracking time and expenses against projects. While the tool already hosts thousands of on-premise implementations, today’s announcement marks the first to be implemented on the Microsoft Azure platform.
“WorkBook v8.0 is a fully integrated solution for Professional Service Firms and provides a full 360-degree view of an organization’s operating results,” says Marco D’Ercole, executive vice-president of 360 Visibility Inc. “It is a world-class cloud product accessible anytime, anywhere, with minimal upfront costs and implementation effort.”
Because of its history servicing such professional services organizations as Res Publica, NATIONAL PR, and kenna:, 360 Visibility has a long and healthy working relationship with WorkBook A/S, and represents the product in Canada, U.S.A. and the Caribbean Islands.
Solution a Key Step to High-Level Client Service
“We are very proud that Veritas selected WorkBook and our partner 360 Visibility Inc.,” says Henrik Skov Pedersen, chief operating officer of WorkBook Software A/S. “Veritas is a very strong brand, and we are excited they have signed on to the cloud-based version of our PSA solution, which has an 11-year history in the industry.”
For Veritas, a member of the MDC Partners network, the move means more efficient time and expense tracking – and will be a key step in the firm’s commitment to continuously improving client service. “This is an exciting development for our company,” says Raymond Siu, Veritas’s chief financial officer. “We are very much looking forward to the gains in efficiency and the rapid implementation of a cloud-based, industry-specific solution.”
