关于客户
Grant Thornton LLP 是 Grant Thornton International Ltd. 的加拿大成员之一，后者是世界领先的独立拥有和管理的会计和咨询公司组织之一。该公司在 130 个国家/地区拥有超过 40,000 名员工。这家加拿大公司在不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚市和纽芬兰省圣约翰市设有办事处，拥有超过 4,000 名专业人员。作为一家专业会计师事务所，Grant Thornton LLP 在选择自己的内部会计应用程序时非常挑剔。该公司早在 1999 年就根据 Sage 300 实现了业务标准化。
挑战
Grant Thornton LLP 是 Grant Thornton International Ltd. 的成员，是一家领先的独立拥有和管理的会计和咨询公司组织。这家加拿大公司在不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚市和纽芬兰省圣约翰市设有分支机构，拥有 4,000 多名专业人员。该公司早在 1999 年就使用 Sage 300 标准化了其运营。然而，直到 2005 年，该公司的每个业务部门都运行单独的 Sage 300 软件实例，将汇总数据发送到位于多伦多的公司总部。这导致了账户结构不一致、安全问题和数据库控制问题。该公司还发现，统一销售税 (HST) 的管理和报告变得更加容易管理。
解决方案
为了应对挑战，Grant Thornton LLP 在 Sage 300 上整合了其业务。整合带来的好处是巨大的。通过集中应用程序，该公司能够确保帐户结构的一致性并避免重复或多种格式。由于需要访问敏感管理数据的个人更少，因此安全性更容易管理。对数据库的整体控制（包括备份和存储）也得到了更好的服务。该公司的业务部门在 Sage 300 系统中表示为单独的公司；每个公司都可以安全地访问其公司数据库以输入应付账款交易、完成日记帐分录并运行各种报告。但是，许多其他交易源自公司级别，需要在业务部门之间分配。通过使用公司间交易模块，Grant Thornton LLP 能够在单个交易中将应付账款交易和总帐日记帐分录分配给每个业务部门。

Flex Contact Center: Supporting rapid business growth with IBM Connections Cloud and IBM Verse
Flex Contact Center, a professional services company offering telesales, call-center, anti-attrition, back-office, helpdesk and collection services, has grown rapidly since its establishment in 2009. With operations in 12 sites across two states and four cities in Brazil, the company employs more than 11,000 people.

Traditional approaches to collaboration—based on email and phone calls—threatened to reduce productivity. Flex Contact Center wanted to enable better collaboration and communication across its workforce, but did not want to make large investments in infrastructure.

PureFluent: Connecting to partners and customers through the cloud for enhanced productivity
PureFluent, a translation services company, was facing challenges in managing its translation and document review processes. The company often received files in uneditable formats from customers, which required staff members to transfer text to word processing or spreadsheet documents. During the translation process, maintaining version control was a challenge because PureFluent sent work to hundreds of translators in multiple geographic locations. It was also time-consuming for staff to manage the large volume of emails and FTP transactions required to submit translations for customer review and ensure the integration of requested changes. Furthermore, staff were spending significant time hunting through their emails for specific attachments.
