Birdsall Services Group Selects Electronic Invoicing for Deltek(R) Vision From Central Consulting Group

PR Newswire (US)
MINNEAPOLIS, and SEA GIRT, N.J., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Birdsall
Services Group (BSG), Sea Girt, NJ, has announced its decision to
streamline and automate its invoicing process through Electronic
Invoicing for Deltek® Vision from Central Consulting Group (CCG),
Minneapolis, MN. With the complexities of tasks and variety of
staff involved, invoicing for architectural, engineering and
professional consulting services can become a bottleneck. BSG had
two reasons to address this problem, according to Dianne Seymour,
Director of MIS. "First, we have multiple locations, and the
distribution of paperwork can be time-consuming. The collating of
information alone can take us a full day." "Second, we wanted to
significantly decrease our receivables Days Sales Outstanding
(DSO). We analyzed our entire invoicing and collection process. In
order to get all of our invoices out by the first ten to fifteen
days of each month, we have to speed up these processes." Seymour
continued, "We had been looking at other programs, but didn't feel
that they provided significant enough time savings. CCG's
Electronic Invoicing, however, seemed to be a very good fit for
exactly what we're trying to do." Seymour expects the project
results to be significant. "We think it's reasonable that we will
get at least a 20% decrease in days required to get the invoice
out," she said, "and we expect that to lead directly to a decrease
in our DSO." "CCG implements Deltek® Vision for architectural and
engineering firms all over the country," said Steve Stolz, CCG
Partner. "Clients were successfully managing their projects using
Vision, but when it came time to invoice, they struggled. We knew
there had to be a better way, so we created Electronic Invoicing to
streamline their internal invoicing process." Seymour explained
that part of their decision resulted from their initial
conversations with CCG. "We were impressed with CCG's approach,"
she said. "They have been open to any constructive suggestions we
make, and they really seem to be listening to us and hearing our
needs." About Birdsall Services Group Birdsall Services Group (BSG)
