Customer Profile Case Study: RAM | 1 Executive Summary Previous Solution: • Microso Dynamics GP Results with Sage Intacct: • Shortened monthly close by 2 weeks • Maintained lean finance team despite 30% transaction growth • Gained visibility into clinic costs for improved decision-making Our reporting is like night and day compared with Microso Dynamics GP. Sage Intacct has opened our eyes by delivering real-time visibility into each and every one of our clinic locations.
