High Praise from Users
Throughout 2022, users gave the Kantata Cloud for Professional Services platform overwhelmingly positive reviews on independent sites such as G2.com and Software Review.
G2 analyzes data sourced from its users around the world and data aggregated from online sources and social networks to create its quarterly Grid Reports. In 2022, Kantata was not only consistently recognized as a Leader in Resource Management Software, users ranked it as the number one resource management solution overall. The company was also designated as a Leader in G2’s Grids for Professional Services Automation (PSA), Project Management, and Project and Portfolio Management. Additionally, Kantata earned the top spot on G2’s Europe Grid® for PSA for three consecutive quarters.
Kantata also ranked number one in Software Review’s 2022 Professional Services Emotional Footprint that measures users’ overall feelings toward vendors and the value of their products.
High Job Satisfaction Levels
Amid a merger, a time that can often be stressful, Kantata’s employees have been happy and helped create a new, high-performance culture. According to Glassdoor, 95 percent of employees would recommend working at Kantata to a friend, and 96 percent approve of CEO Michael Speranza. The company offers a range of perks and benefits including a hybrid work model to empower employees to choose the work location that best suits them. Kantata was transparent throughout the merger process with employees and asked for their involvement in building the new work environment together.
2023 Product Innovation Roadmap and Partner Program
Kantata ensures any organization’s unique challenges are solved, and client input is invaluable in shaping the product roadmap. That’s why Kantata established Innovation Councils that foster collaboration among Kantata’s product development teams and client representatives on the development of new features and functionalities.
One example of this close collaboration is the new Assignment Search interface that will be released in early 2023. It provides resource managers with the ability to create and share views to better process the complex relationships between the global resource pool and the work they’re doing. Resource managers maintain visibility of a resource’s capacity as they’re making changes without having to jump back to another view to understand the implications of those changes.
Additional new product features and capabilities Kantata released last year include RightResource, a solution that enables you to configure and share resource resumes, directly from the data in Kanata, and Delivery Analyzer, which empowers Delivery Managers with Tableau dashboards that support complex analysis and dynamic filtering.
In 2022, Kantata was accepted onto the Salesforce Early Release Validation (SERV) pilot program, giving its product teams the opportunity to participate with Salesforce in production release candidate testing and early testing access. Kantata also announced its partnership with Sage to create the only professional services automation and financial management platform purpose-built for PSOs and ESOs. Expanding its partner network remains a priority for 2023.
