Client Showcase

Creating Sharepoint Documentation and Training for the Telecommunications Industry
A global supplier to the telecommunications industry designs, manufactures, markets and services voice, data and video transport and network access systems. This client asked CARA to help them standardize their document repository applications across the organization. Some departments and business units were using a web-based collaboration tool offering e-mail, calendaring, instant messaging and document management. Other departments were using Microsoft’s SharePoint 2003.

Enhancing Sharepoint Administrator Training for the Real Estate Management Industry
One of the nation’s largest real estate investment firms recently asked CARA for help with their SharePoint training. This client implemented Microsoft’s SharePoint 2007 enterprise version and had previously designed a one day instructor-led course for SharePoint administrators. The course provided a basic overview of the software’s functionality.

Financial Business Process Training in the Distribution Industry
The credit and collection division of a leading national supplier of facilities maintenance products wanted to reduce their Accounts Receivables and lower the average number of days it takes to collect revenue after a sale is made, or Days Sales Outstanding (DSO). DSO is an indicator of how strong sales are. The quicker Accounts Receivables are collected, the company can reinvest the cash back into the business and make more sales. In this client’s situation, reducing DSO by one day is equal to freeing up $15M of capital.
