Case Study: 4sl achieves rapid scaling to deliver multiple concurrent pan‑European projects with Kimble Applications

Scaling Up To Deliver Multiple Projects

4sl is an IT services firm delivering consultancy, project and managed services around storage, archive and backup. After winning a large pan‑European account that required a rapid build‑out of consultants and the ability to run roughly ten times as many projects concurrently across the UK, USA, Netherlands, Germany and India, 4sl needed an integrated, multi‑currency/multi‑region tool for resource and project management. They selected Kimble Applications’ professional services automation solution (integrated with Salesforce) to meet those needs.

Kimble Applications implemented the PSA platform quickly — live and delivering value within months — providing a single source of data, real‑time reporting across fixed‑price and time‑and‑materials engagements, and forecasting that gave consistent utilization visibility. The solution improved resource management, encouraged best practice across the consultancy, and made timesheet and expense capture easier via a mobile app, leading to more accurate data and the ability to manage the tenfold increase in concurrent projects for the new EMEA client.
