Proven client success

Shakespeare Squared wanted a database providing information about past and current projects on which their writers worked. Projects were tracked manually with Excel spreadsheets. It was critical to track projects efficiently and easily since billing could occur when projects were 25% or 50% complete.

Catwalk Consulting Inc. incorporated the Contact Management System, the Bid Management System, the Project Management System and the Writer Resume System to control the flow and usage of information. To address information systems needs Catwalk Consulting implemented the CRM Solution using Lotus Collaboration Express.

Shakespeare Squared now streamlines current processes to run operations more efficiently, has reduced their selling costs and won a quick return on investment due to decreased expenditures.
