Case Study: Navigant Consulting achieves faster staffing and higher utilization with Kantata

Global Consulting Firm Increases Efficiency to Drive Profitability

Navigant Consulting is a global professional services firm serving healthcare, energy, and financial services. As its Life Sciences practice grew to roughly 150–200 concurrent projects (500+ per year) with faster 6–10 week engagements, homegrown systems and daily Excel exports created information silos: staffing and coordination took days, global resource visibility was limited, utilization suffered, and teams duplicated effort across offices.

Navigant adopted Mavenlink’s cloud-based, real-time resource, knowledge, and project management platform to centralize data and enable contextual collaboration. The platform cut staffing time from days to minutes, improved global collaboration and billable utilization, enabled better forecasting and hiring decisions, and increased predictability and efficiency across projects.
