Challenges

CivicPlus lacked process coordination and visibility in its previous environment of Sage Peachtree and Act! databases for CRM.
Time-consuming billing processes using paper printouts and manual data entry into Peachtree impaired CivicPlus productivity and slowed cash flow.
Peachtree administrator needed to generate a custom report whenever a sales rep wanted information on a customer or prospect.

Icon Enterprises selected NetSuite as a complete, integrated solution to streamline operations and fuel growth at CivicPlus.
Upgrade from NetSuite Advanced Projects to NetSuite SuiteProjects has given CivicPlus new capabilities to improve planning, and service delivery.
