Case Study How Certinia Wins 9% More Often and 15% Faster in EMEA with Clari
Certinia accelerates business growth with customer-centric ERP, professional services automation, and customer success solutions.
Certinia has a huge opportunity to grow as they expand further into EMEA with their Salesforce native cloud ERP and professional services apps. The EMEA team is strategically structured to capture high-velocity business in new regional and verticalized markets. But their revenue process didn’t match up: it relied on static and outdated spreadsheets that burdened the operations team, produced inaccurate forecasts, left sales managers evaluating data instead of coaching, and allowed deals to slip. Certinia needed an efficient, reliable forecasting process and a digestible, actionable view of their CRM data. They’ve found both in Clari.
Certinia now has the critical data and smooth process they need to make smart decisions in new markets.
"Waterfall saves me an hour and a half every Sunday evening because I no longer have to sit down and track what moved in the week. I can just go into Clari and review it."
