SNS Technologies® provides a comprehensive suite of services to software product companies during all stages in the product lifecycle, from product ideation to obsolescence. Based out of Pune, India, the company has a global footprint with offices in Texas and California (USA) and London (UK). SNS was established in 1999 and its services have helped customers improve software quality, reduce product development costs and time-to-market.
As a globally distributed company, SNS Technologies has a range of complex finance, sales, and partnership challenges. Executive Management needs to quickly communicate on a range of planning and execution tasks that require real-time collaboration. Multinational companies face complex tax and finance issues on a daily basis. Staying on top of revenues and expenses, while adhering to local tax reporting requirements are difficult enough. Rolling up the status of an organization’s regional finances to the headquarters requires another level of complex finance, tax and audit skills.
SNS Technologies uses Content Circles on a daily basis to maintain a global view of the business. Confidential finance documents are exchanged daily between company employees operating in different countries and the outside tax and audit firms that support the finance operation.
Ashish Shah, the CEO of SNS Technologies is a strong supporter of Content Circles and the value it brings to his business. “I receive daily management reports on the state of the business as do other members of the management team. The company is able to stay nimble and adjust rapidly to changes in the business because we all have the confidence to know that we are always working with the most accurate, up-to-date numbers.”
SNS Technologies also uses Content Circles as a repository for company documents. The version control capabilities of Content Circles are a key benefit because it is critical for the team to have the confidence that everyone is working with the most recent documents. It is incredibly easy to find and review previous versions of documents, without have to log into a complex, arcane document management system that is located somewhere in the company or offsite at a hosting facility. Managing a successful sales organization takes much more than a CRM tool to track leads. The rudimentary file storage that is typical of these systems doesn’t solve the core need. How do you handle proposal and contract management when you are in the middle of a sales cycle (without additional custom tools) and how do you reuse these documents for other sales campaigns? Content Circles makes all of these tasks easy and instantaneous. Open the document, make changes, save the file and the new version is transmitted to all the members of the workgroup or “Circle.”
“Content Circles continues to make a valuable contribution to every aspect of our business”, said CEO Ashish Shah. “Content Circles is a great example of a highly productive application that just works. It doesn’t take extra time to learn. Unlike many software applications that we all have used over time, Content Circles doesn’t require wholesale changes in process and business flow that force people to adapt to the application. Everyone knows how to put a file in a folder. Content Circles is great because it requires little in the way of skills and training. We use the application throughout our organization and have come to depend on its reliability, ease of use and instantaneous delivery of document updates.”
