A testimony to ConnectWise’s stellar capabilities in business management is Clark Integrated Technologies (CIT), a leading provider of managed information and communications technology solutions. The client was spending a lot of time dealing with the administration of the tickets, billing, and opportunities that were obstructing their growth. “I always described it like a glass ceiling we just couldn’t find a way to bust through because we were spending too much time on the admin,” says Austen Clark, Managing Director of CIT. With ConnectWise Manage, CIT was able to break through that glass ceiling by identifying silos and increase process efficiency while promoting manageable growth. Happy with the results, CIT then turned to ConnectWise for an integrated quoting tool and used the ConnectWise Sell to move their sales process forward. “The Sell/Manage partnership has allowed us to streamline and make processes in our business work all the way through. My sales guys know they can raise an opportunity, and it goes straight into Manage,” adds Clark. Additionally, CIT leaders have also benefitted from ConnectWise’s annual IT Nation conference, soaking up knowledge from experts at the industry’s forefront, developing professional relationships, and drawing inspiration from a community of peers.
