Customer Success Stories

“With the introduction of Governance One's EVM in our company, we have made strides in completing budgeting and forecasting in weeks. Generally, our budgeting process took us two months to gather costs, prioritize products and build scenarios for future years. With EVM, our front line managers are able to identify profitable product lines and effectively focus internal resources around them. Now my finance people can provide me the variance analysis reports real time, which used to take them 2 weeks after month-end to come out those reports. It also became easy to control our operational expenses by prioritizing our internal projects. Revenue driven products and projects were identifiable as the impact of each could be seen on the bottom line.”

“EVM is an ideal and easy to learn software for small to medium-size companies that are struggling to budget, forecast and plan to make use of the right opportunity. Once my sales and operation managers had built in a revenue and cost model for our company, the results of each decision were accurately drawn and plotted on the financial statements through a behind the screen automated accounting calculation.”

“Governance One's EVM gives me the financial advantage in easy and logical steps. It provides me with the knowledge I need today to project my company's revenue and profits for the next 5 years.”

“My job as a financial manager is a central point between departments, managers and company executives. I have worked in several companies from different industries. My daily tasks require coordination and cooperation of all the managers and departmental heads. Delays often occur due to absence of a structured environment that easily connects tasks from gathering information to reporting information.”

“Governance One's EVM is an easy-to-understand, hands-on tool that transforms data into consolidated reports through its unique features like product costing, revenue generation, automated accounting and rolling forecasts. Every aspect of financial statements is accounted for through defined menus. The organization headcount and chart are effectively designed to reflect operational costs in real time. Now I spend more time building scenarios, simulation modeling and analyzing business situations which will maximize our profits.”

“The greatest strength of EVM is that it allows our company to easily forecast the resources we need to meet our investor's expectation. Our parent company asked us to generate over $xx million dollars revenue in the year 2006. There was no way in knowing whether or not we could meet that goal. We could only hope that by continuing our operations we could accomplish the goal. With the implementation of Governance One's EVM, the forecasts indicated that it would be impossible to meet this goal unless we received another $xx million in long term financing. Our proposed plan now included recommendations to achieve the financing and was met with approval by our parent company. With the help of EVM, our company was on our way to meet that goal. Less than $300/month to invest in EVM goes a long way in making millions ahead….that's what I call a good deal.”

“When I heard that I have to learn a financial software that will revolutionize our corporate growth, my reaction was “Isn't that my sales department's job”? I prepared myself to fill out dead boring templates that usually have been a standard to forecast sales. However, once I downloaded the EVM software, I was impressed with its intuitive interface. I was able to categorize products into relevant product line, product packages and product items. I could even forecast several years' revenue by different sales regions and customer segments.”

“Our business is based on providing IPLC and VPN services and selling Internet content subscriptions to our customers. Our pricing model is re-occurring in nature. I was astonished to find a pricing model that completely matches our business need. To generate revenue forecast, it takes into consideration new accounts, old accounts and a % turnover of accounts that happen periodically.”

“The revenue from the sale of each product could be calculated through a detailed ‘bottom-up' approach or an easy ‘top-down' approach. I was also able to prioritize my internal projects and rate them in order of preference. EVM has saved us information costs, reduced transaction costs, and enabled us to use the time saved to conduct value-added analysis. I can also view revenue forecast data generated by several criteria. I have improved my sales strategy by identifying products with higher gross margin. My decisions are now backed by financial figures, which are not just revenues but costs associated with it.”

“EVM provides real value to any business and it is an absolute MUST for anyone who wants to have a growing business.”

“Our business is inventory and product driven. With millions of dollar annual revenue, m anaging our cash was becoming difficult every month….until I discovered Governance One's EVM!”

“EVM's intuitive interface enabled me to think and lay out my plan without any outside IT support. I did not need a finance expert either. EVM laid out the dynamics of my plan into easy to understand financial reports. The immediate short-term benefit was that I was able to interpret and improve our cash cycle. We were facing longer cash cycles due to longer inventory and receivable periods. EVM has enabled us to spot cost overruns and production problems before they grow and cause significant losses. It opened a new front for us by identifying the key factors undermining our growth.”
