Geography
Mansion House Consulting (MHC) is a leading international business and technology consultancy focused exclusively on the financial services sector. According to Jonathan Want, Chief Technology Officer at MHC, the return on investment since since adopting Kantata has been “massive.”
“Before Kantata, management of the operation was very manual and based on a combination of spreadsheets and SharePoint lists. Trying to get a consistent view on what everyone thinks a particular problem is was very difficult.”
With Kantata, MHC was able to grow its global business without increasing back office headcount. Jonathan said one of the key benefits of Kantata has been the “ability to scale without increasing cost.” He says the number of consultants who can be supported in the field by each person in the back office “has increased significantly.”

The Solution

MHC uses Kantata to enable more effective delivery of services. All engagements are run through Kantata, which is the core record-keeping system of the business.
