FinancialForce.com Launches iPhone App for Professional Services Teams on the Apple App Store
FinancialForce Timecards Maximizes iPhone Form Factor and Leverages Salesforce Chatter to Stay Connected Anywhere
(firmenpresse) - SAN MATEO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/16/11 -- , the cloud applications company, today announced general availability of on the Apple App Store. This mobile timecard entry application leverages the form factor of the Apple iPhone and unique capabilities of iOS, allowing dispersed professional services (PS) organizations to stay connected while on the road visiting customers.
FinancialForce Timecards for the iPhone complements the FinancialForce Professional Services Automation (PSA) application and is fully integrated with Salesforce.com's Chatter application on Force.com. It enables consultants to efficiently complete administrative tasks and communicate with PS teams so they can better focus on billable client efforts. With FinancialForce Timecards for the iPhone, consultants can:
quickly and easily enter their time and view the status of timecards;
receive alerts if timecards are due;
be notified as to how many timecards are past due;
match time easily to each assignment; and
post to project walls enabled by salesforce.com's social application, Chatter.
The social capabilities in Salesforce Chatter enable PS teams to replace emails, voice mails and conference calls with Chatter streams, making the conversation part of the audit trail for each project. Additionally, because timecards are collected more quickly, the downstream activities become more efficient including billing, project reporting and resource management. Staying connected through the iPhone and socially via Chatter makes all team members involved with the project more efficient and able to focus more on billable client efforts while providing a higher level of service.
