Introduction

This case explores how Grant Thornton Greece transitioned to missionX, a next-generation, all-in-one platform, and the benefits realized in terms of cost savings, process automation, and productivity gains.

The problem

Grant Thornton Greece, a member of the $7.5 billion Grant Thornton International professional services network, faced significant operational inefficiencies due to a variety of unwieldy legacy systems for timesheets, leaves, project management, budgeting, resource allocation, and reporting.

"You don’t need to look far back in history to see what happens if you’re not agile... agility isn’t a luxury, it’s a business imperative."Ron Polito - Grant Thornton US

The challenge

Grant Thornton was struggling with multiple unwieldy legacy systems that didn’t communicate with each other. This led to inefficiencies, duplicated efforts, and a lack of real-time visibility across departments, making it difficult to streamline operations and respond to challenges effectively.

These fragmented systems created data silos and an overwhelming amount of manual work, preventing the firm from achieving the efficiency and agility required in today's competitive market.

"Grant Thornton needed a solution that could replace legacy systems with a single, cohesive platform to automate workflows." Grant Thornton RFP

The solution

missionX offered an integrated, out-of-the-box product that consolidated time tracking, resource allocation, project management, leave tracking integration with Microsoft Dynamics and real-time reporting.

The transition from multiple platforms to missionX provided Grant Thornton with:

  • End-to-End Automation
  • Unified workflows
  • Real-Time, automated reporting
  • Customizations
  • Extreme cost savings
  • Integrated systems
  • Conisistant upgrades

Migration support

"missionX was the only end-to-end solution capable of meeting our requirements without costly, risk-prone development. The licensing model ensures that Grant Thornton will save over 90% in annual fees compared to other, less capable systems on the market."Maria K. Senior Manager Grant Thornton Greece

The implementation

With the customer working collaboratively in missionX, its capabilities became part of the delivery process from day one, bringing communication, documentation, tasks, risks and changes together in one place.

With everything connected in missionX, stakeholders had a clear view of progress and priorities. This reduced coordination overhead, accelerated decisions and gave sponsors confidence in delivery.
