Proven enterprise solutions to solve
mission-critical business challenges, quickly
Smartsheet Inc. (NYSE: SMAR), the leading cloud-based platform
for work execution, today announced the launch of Smartsheet
Accelerators, a set of industry-proven solutions that enable
customers to better manage work management scenarios for IT PMO,
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), and Professional Services.
“Business leaders are under increasing pressure to deliver
mission-critical initiatives on time and on budget,” said Gene
Farrell, senior vice president of product for Smartsheet. “We saw
an opportunity to create packaged solutions for specific,
repeatable scenarios to make their lives easier. Smartsheet
Accelerators are designed to help customers execute faster and be
more successful with these high-impact use cases.”
Smartsheet is releasing three distinct Accelerators chosen for
their ability to deliver immediate business value by leveraging
best practices gained from insights across the company’s thousands
of customers.
- IT is an increasingly important driver
of the business. The Smartsheet Accelerator for IT PMO
optimizes the entire IT project lifecycle, from project
prioritization through tracking, executive reporting, change
management, and project archiving. The Accelerator delivers
transparency, consistency and speed, with an easy-to-use interface
that drives rapid user adoption.“Our executives are completely
wowed by the reports we get from Smartsheet,” said Linda Lauritano,
Vice President of PMO for Motus LLC. “They like the focus on the
path to green for projects at risk and they like seeing a summary
of overall project health. Additionally, we’re seeing over $100,000
per year in savings associated with reduced churn and reporting
overhead.”
- Customer service managers will tell you
that the onboarding phase of a customer relationship is critical.
The Smartsheet Accelerator for Professional Services helps
ensure success right from the start. Standardized plans, client
reports and dashboards, consolidated portfolio reporting, and rich
integrations with CRM systems like Salesforce help services leaders
onboard customers effectively and on-time, every time. This ensures
a better experience and helps increase lifetime customer value.“The
approach for deploying The Smartsheet Accelerator for Professional
Services is incredible. This was the fastest software
implementation I have ever been involved with in my career,” said
Brian Vaughan, Senior Manager, US Implementation Services for
Beckman Coulter. "We expect this to translate to a similar
experience in terms of immediately recognizing value while
implementing Beckman Coulter products and services for our
customers.”
- An efficient, standardized process can
shorten the time to impact of a merger or acquisition by weeks or
months, and the Smartsheet Accelerator for M&A helps
close deals faster. Operational frameworks for evaluating
acquisition targets, tracking pre-deal and deal due diligence
activities, managing multiple workstreams and planning the
integration allow M&A leaders to navigate a complicated, high
stakes process as quickly as possible.
Smartsheet plans to release additional Accelerator packages
based on customer needs. For more information, visit
