“Having NetSuite OpenAir to do complex calculations and generate reports has been a tremendous help so we can spend more time analyzing data, not creating it.” HighPoint Solutions

Customer Success

  • NetSuite OpenAir delivers a robust professional services automation (PSA) solution for the fast-growing global provider of specialized IT services for life sciences and healthcare companies.
  • HighPoint Solutions has greatly enhanced efficiency and visibility with NetSuite OpenAir for project management and accounting, resource optimization, and time and expense management.
  • Management and workforce of 650 consultants rely on NetSuite OpenAir as a single system of record for on-target services delivery to such clients as Pfizer, Novartis, Cigna, Bristol-Myers Squibb and UnitedHealthcare.
  • NetSuite OpenAir scales to accommodate HighPoint Solutions’ portfolio of roughly 100 concurrent projects in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere.
  • The PSA solution helps provide agility as the 14-year-old company grows, with 2014 revenue projected at $125 million, up 20% over 2013.
  • HighPoint Solutions now has real-time visibility into project costs, revenue and profitability, compared to once-a-month reports of the past.
  • Resource management in OpenAir gives HighPoint Solutions new ability to optimize allocation of the best resources to the right projects.
  • NetSuite OpenAir's cloud-based architecture is ideal for mobile consultants and distributed workforce across offices in Philadelphia, Boston, Tampa, Los Angeles, New Jersey and Switzerland.
  • NetSuite OpenAir supplies better at-a-glance visibility into consultant expenses compared to a previous SAP Concur solution.
  • HighPoint Solutions has gained new flexibility to appropriately attribute revenue and costs to multiple practices involved in a single project.
  • Client satisfaction is improved with transparent electronic billing through OpenAir.

Challenges

  • Homegrown PSA application was limited in functionality and not well suited to support HighPoint Solutions’ rapid growth.
  • Lack of integration between homegrown PSA, an accounting application and SAP Concur for expense management meant manually rekeying data and reporting in spreadsheets.
  • Limited and outdated visibility into project financials made it difficult to get a clear picture of costs, revenue and profitability and make data-driven strategic decisions.

Solution

  • Selected over a Microsoft PSA application, NetSuite OpenAir offered industry-leading functionality and scalability for a large and growing user environment.
  • HighPoint Solutions elected to replace both homegrown PSA and SAP Concur expense management application to gain a natively integrated solution with NetSuite OpenAir.
  • Role-based permissions in OpenAir enable HighPoint Solutions to closely govern which personnel have access to what data.
