The Marketo University team needed to streamline workflows to provide value for their customers. Using Smartsheet, they reduced the time it takes to compile an executive report from two weeks to 48 hours.
How Marketo Helps Customers Win at Scale With Smartsheet Marketo University adopted Smartsheet to minimize time spent on operational tasks, improving response time in assisting both external and internal customers. I’m able to make each customer feel like our only customer, because I can quickly find the data that I need to serve them the best.
Taryn Petzel, Education Coordinator, Marketo University “We’re actually managing 30% more projects with the same number of project managers as we were before we implemented Smartsheet.” —Michael Ghrist, IT Account Manager for Commercial Operations Today, teams at Roche are developing and implementing innovative diagnostic systems that help millions of patients all over the world. Yet rapid changes in technology and within the healthcare industry mean that the teams at Roche must also drive innovation in their processes to stay competitive and keep up with demand. An Increasingly Complex ProcessBased in Indianapolis, the Roche Diagnostics Implementation Program office serves the needs of a diverse and expansive customer base in North America. The team realized that in order to best serve their customers, which range from personal physicians to large national laboratories, research institutions and academic centers, they needed to address rapid changes in technology, customer expectations, and economic pressures. Their customers deserve transparency with regard to everything related to diagnostic testing — and they want results and consolidated real-time information delivered more rapidly. The professional services company made its yearly audit planning and scheduling process less time-consuming while improving team communication, collaboration, and process visibility. Professional services powerhouse FGMK had a problem: Dated processes and legacy tools were distracting the team from the work they do best— first-class client service. With over 1,000 audit and financial statement reporting engagements in a year, and tens of thousands of information requests, FGMK was looking for a better way to handle communications and manage administrative requests related to these often manual processes done in a spreadsheet, word document, or an email thread. After running into accountability issues and versioning headaches, the team at FGMK knew there had to be a better way. “We found that teams were spending a lot of time on the administrative part of an audit versus doing the actual client service, doing the actual value-added component that is why they're in the field,” says Michael Fernandez, Director of Quality Control at FGMK. They needed a solution to help free up their employees from this manual, administrative burden by helping to streamline document intake and decrease the back and forth of email conversations. "We just needed to improve our data flow. We needed to improve our collaboration. We needed to improve our communication; internally and externally," says Fernandez. “We viewed Smartsheet as something that could improve our own efficiency and cut out that manual labor-intensive process,” says Fernandez, “we’re able to use the notifications and the quick at-a-glance collaborative nature of the platform to get things done quicker, better, and to re-allocate our resources, too.”
“Through the use of Smartsheet, we are getting closer towards global disease elimination targets set by the World Health Organization.” —Allison Snyder, Project Support Specialist Focused on improving the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world, The Task Force for Global Health is a nonprofit organization with 14 programs dedicated to controlling, eliminating, and eradicating debilitating diseases. Its Neglected Tropical Diseases Support Center conducts research on tools and techniques for eliminating five such diseases that collectively impact more than a billion people worldwide. To bring IT training to talented but underserved populations, Creating IT Futures turned to Smartsheet and realized huge savings. Creating IT Futures — a Chicago-based nonprofit and the workforce charity of respected IT trade association CompTIA — prepares people from underrepresented communities for IT careers. Despite the successes of their training programs, inefficient, error-prone processes with their online training and certification exam voucher programs created a significant administrative burden for staff, students, and education partners.
Without a solution, manual tasks and data issues would continue to divert staff time and attention away from what was most important—supporting CITF’s students and alumni. |
