What Kantata Replaced
Spreadsheets, Legacy systems
The Challenge
Huge’s previous system helped support the organization in its early stages as a small organization, but as they grew across multiple disciplines, multiple offices and different currencies, it could not keep up. The limitations of the legacy system prevented efficiencies across a variety of business processes, specifically in offline reporting and financial insights.
Huge designs best-in-class experiences rooted in the technology, data and organizational strategy. They provide strategy, marketing, design and technology services to Fortune 100 companies.
The Solution
Accurate Data
Huge needed near-real-time data to make informed business decisions, instead of depending on manual data manipulation that created inconsistencies within the organization.
Standardized Processes
By consolidating processes within Kantata, Huge was able to standardize business processes and become more efficient, which played a critical role in growing and scaling.
Global Visibility
Huge operates across multiple time zones and offices, which means it needed clear business processes and an audit trail to better understand project progress and history around the world.
Resource Insights
Coordinating an ever-growing workforce led to Huge needing a variety of tools at its disposal, including margin reports, burn rates, resource allocations, a skillset database and more.

Our teams are now finding it much easier to complete timesheets.”
Improved Process Consistency
Using Kantata for resource and project management has helped Huge create consistency in its processes, governance and reporting. By integrating Salesforce and Kantata, the organization has increased visibility and coordination across teams, with employees, team leaders, project managers and finance managers all using Kantata.
