Esri, a global market leader in geographic information systems software, uses Kantata as their one source of truth for engagement and resourcing data. Kevin Ochs, Professional Services Business Management Director at Esri states, “The real game changer of Kantata is the windshield view of our plans. Any accounting system will tell you where you’ve been, but Kantata gives us an accurate, up-to-date, living and breathing plan. Kantata shows us our future demand — if we expect to be short or over-staffed we can turn some dials to hire and proactively make decisions that will influence the future.”
